Create vm Google Cloud using Terraform

Create single instance using terraform

To create a virtual machine (VM) on Google Cloud using Terraform, you will need to define a google_compute_instance resource in your Terraform configuration. Here is an example of how you could create a VM using Terraform:

resource "google_compute_instance" "example" {
  name         = "example-vm"
  machine_type = "n1-standard-1"
  zone         = "us-central1-a"

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {
      image = "ubuntu-1604-lts"
    }
  }

  network_interface {
    network = "default"

    access_config {
      // Include this section to give the VM an external IP address
    }
  }

  metadata = {
    foo = "bar"
  }

  service_account {
    // Include this section to specify a service account and attach
    // scopes to it
  }
}

This will create a new VM named “example-vm” in the us-central1-a zone, using a machine type of n1-standard-1 and a boot disk based on the ubuntu-1604-lts image.

To use this configuration, you will need to have Terraform installed on your system and have configured the Google Cloud provider. You will also need to have a Google Cloud service account with the appropriate permissions to create and manage Compute Engine resources.
