Terraform Modules on GCP

Build, call, and compose Terraform modules on GCP, then compare your local module workflow with a Registry module.

Terraform Modules on GCP - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

This lab teaches Terraform module fundamentals on Google Cloud using the same progression as the AWS and Azure module labs.

You will:

  • Create a reusable local network module with variables, resources, and outputs
  • Call that module from a root configuration and observe how Terraform tracks module resources in state
  • Use module outputs to drive additional resources and expose values at the root
  • Use a published Registry module to compare local modules with externally sourced modules

The focus is on the module workflow itself: define modules, call modules, consume outputs, and understand when to reuse published modules.

What You'll Learn

Create a reusable local Terraform module on GCP

Call a child module from a root configuration

Use module outputs as inputs to other resources and root outputs

Inspect how Terraform stores module resources in state

Use a Terraform Registry module and compare it with a local module
