Build and Test GCP Infrastructure Using Terraform Modules
summary
Shows how a reusable Terraform module for GCP (bucket, VM, service account, network) is packaged, versioned and consumed from local or GitHub sources, and how tests run with kitchen-terraform driving Terraform and inspec-gcp (InSpec) asserting cloud state. Demo creates a storage bucket, runs verify checks for existence and versioning, then flips a test to produce one success and one failure, proving tests catch regressions and CI-friendly create/verify/destroy lifecycle works.
