Use Terraform with Spanner

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure. It uses configuration files to describe the components needed to run a single application or your entire infrastructure.

You can use the Google Cloud Terraform Provider to create Spanner instances and databases, and to modify or delete Spanner resources.

PostgreSQL interface note: For PostgreSQL-dialect databases, Terraform doesn't support submitting DDL while creating a database. You must submit DDL in a separate operation.

The Google Cloud Terraform Provider offers the following Spanner resources:

• google_spanner_instance
• google_spanner_database
• google_spanner_instance_iam
• google_spanner_database_iam

For more information about using these resources to create and manage Spanner instances and databases, see Using Terraform with Google Cloud or consult the Google Cloud Terraform Provider reference.
