Infrastructure Automation

Terraform

• Infrastructure as code (IaC) tool, allowing us to quickly provision and remove infrastructures
• It provides the following features:
  • A repeatable deployment process
  • A declarative language
  • Parallel deployments
  • Template-drive infrastructure

Google Cloud Marketplace

• Let’s us quickly deploy production-grade solutions from third party vendors, who already made their deployment configurations based on Terraform
• Google Cloud automatically updates the images provided on the marketplace, but it does not upgrade already deployed infrastructure
• Google Cloud Marketplace provides direct access to partner support
