Deploying a Pub/Sub Function through Terraform

Whenever possible, it's important to automate processes in the cloud. One of the most important concepts in cloud automation is Infrastructure as Code (IaC), and one of the most dependable vehicles for implementing IaC is Hashicorp's Terraform. In this hands-on lab, you'll use Terraform to build the infrastructure for testing a Cloud Functions (2nd gen) function triggered by a message to a Cloud Pub/Sub topic. This will give you the experience you need to familiarize yourself with the process and methodology of IaC on Google Cloud with specific emphasis on working with Cloud Functions.
