Deploy a Google Compute Engine Instance with Terraform Challenge

This hands-on IDE challenge assumes familiarity with performing the following actions within a Terraform project:

• Configuring Terraform modules
• Establishing remote Terraform state
• Initializing and deploying Terraform projects using the Terraform CLI

If you are unfamiliar with any of the above, Cloud Academy recommends completing the courses and labs mentioned in the prerequisites before attempting this lab challenge.

This challenge will test your practical ability to work within a Terraform project to satisfy a set of requirements in a production-like GCP environment. You will receive a task and a set of requirements you must fulfill to pass the challenge.

This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied way, substituting multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
