What You’ll Learn

  • Creating projects programmatically with service accounts and billing associations.
  • Applying organisation policies and IAM bindings at scale.
  • Structuring state and modules to avoid resource drift.

Tips from the Field

  • Use separate service accounts for provisioning vs. runtime workloads; grant only the permissions each needs.
  • Lock down state files with Cloud Storage IAM or Terraform Cloud to prevent concurrent edits.
  • Build guardrails with policy-as-code (e.g., gcloud alpha read-policy + OPA) before rolling out to multiple teams.
