The Guided Deployment Automation tool in Workload Manager helps
you deploy workloads on Google Cloud. The export option in the tool lets you review and customize the generated infrastructure as code (IaC) before deploying the workload.
This document describes how to download the Terraform and Ansible configuration
files and deploy your workload on Google Cloud.
Export Terraform and Ansible IaC
During the configuration, after you specify the deployment details for your
system, the Guided Deployment Automation tool provides you with
an option to download the Terraform and Ansible infrastructure
as code (IaC), instead of Workload Manager deploying the system
automatically.
The downloaded Terraform file contains variables based on the configuration of
your deployment. The following variables download the Terraform and Ansible files
from a Google-owned repository, when required:
source: downloads the remaining Terraform files.
package_location: downloads the Ansible scripts.
You can customize the Terraform files and modify the deployment configuration.
For more information about managing and deploying Terraform files in
Google Cloud, see Terraform on Google Cloud documentation.
Any modifications to the Terraform or Ansible IaC might cause issues during the
deployment process or cause your configuration to no longer follow the best
practices and recommendations.
