Description

Terraform has become a reliable tool to manage and deploy cloud infrastructure, but in a production setting, projects developed with Terraform will often require access to existing resources. Teams may have their own Virtual Private Cloud configured to meet company requirements, or an existing Cloud Storage bucket to store all of their project artifacts. Instead of configuring new resources, Terraform offers the ability to import these existing resources to tie into new cloud infrastructure.

In this lab, you will import an existing GCP resource into a Terraform project.
