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.
