Welcome to an exciting journey into the world of Infrastructure as Code (IaC)—where managing cloud infrastructure becomes as easy as writing code! In this session, we’ll introduce you to the concept of IaC and show you how to use Terraform to take control of your Google Cloud resources in a way that’s simple, repeatable, and totally stress-free.

Have you ever found it tedious or confusing to manually create and configure cloud resources? Terraform is here to help! It allows you to define your cloud infrastructure with easy-to-write scripts, so instead of clicking around the Google Cloud console, you can automate the entire process with just a few lines of code. Imagine spinning up a virtual machine or deploying a database with one command—no more headaches or repetitive tasks!

We’ll guide you through creating your first Terraform configuration step-by-step. You’ll learn how to build, modify, and manage cloud infrastructure with confidence, all while getting hands-on experience along the way. And the best part? Terraform isn’t just about making things easier—it’s about automating deployments, ensuring consistency, and saving you a ton of time.

By the end of this session, you’ll understand the basics of Terraform and be ready to automate your Google Cloud infrastructure like a pro. Whether you’re new to cloud or just curious about how to make your cloud management smarter and faster, this session will show you how fun and empowering IaC can be!
