Terraform provides plugins called\n*providers* that let you interact with cloud providers and other APIs. You can\nuse the *Terraform provider for Google Cloud* to provision and manage\nGoogle Cloud resources, including Policy Controller.\n\nThis page introduces you to using Terraform with Policy Controller, including an\nintroduction to how Terraform works and some resources to help you get started using\nTerraform with Google Cloud. You'll also find links to Terraform reference docs for\nPolicy Controller, code examples, and guides for using Terraform to provision\nPolicy Controller resources.\n\nFor instructions on how to get started with Terraform for Google Cloud, see\n[Install and configure Terraform](/docs/terraform/install-configure-terraform) or the\n[Terraform for Google Cloud quickstart](/docs/terraform/create-vm-instance).\n\nHow Terraform works\n-------------------\n\nTerraform has a declarative and configuration-oriented syntax, which you can\nuse to describe the infrastructure that you want to provision in your\nGoogle Cloud project. After you author this configuration in one or more\nTerraform configuration files, you can use the Terraform CLI to apply this\nconfiguration to your Policy Controller resources.\n\nThe following steps explain how Terraform works:\n\n1. You describe the infrastructure you want to provision in a *Terraform\n configuration file*. You don't need to write code describing how to provision the infrastructure. Terraform provisions the infrastructure for you.\n2. You run the `terraform plan` command, which evaluates your configuration and generates an execution plan. You can review the plan and make changes as needed.\n3. You run the `terraform apply` command, which performs the following\n actions:\n\n 1. It provisions your infrastructure based on your execution plan by invoking the corresponding Policy Controller APIs in the background.\n 2. It creates a *Terraform state file*, which is a JSON file that maps the resources in your configuration file to the resources in the real-world infrastructure. Terraform uses this file to keep a record of the most recent state of your infrastructure, and to determine when to create, update, and destroy resources.\n 3. When you run `terraform apply`, Terraform uses the mapping in\n the state file to compare the existing infrastructure to the code, and make\n updates as necessary:\n\n - If a resource object is defined in the configuration file, but doesn't exist in the state file, Terraform creates it.\n - If a resource object exists in the state file, but has a different configuration from your configuration file, Terraform updates the resource to match your configuration file.\n - If a resource object in the state file matches your configuration file, Terraform leaves the resource unchanged.\n\nTerraform resources for Policy Controller\n-----------------------------------------\n\n*Resources* are the fundamental elements in the Terraform language. Each\nresource block describes one or more infrastructure objects, such as virtual\nnetworks or compute instances.\n\nThe following table lists the Terraform resources available for\nPolicy Controller:\n\n\n\u003cbr /\u003e\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- [Terraform code samples for Policy Controller](/docs/samples?language=terraform)\n- [Terraform on Google Cloud documentation](/docs/terraform)\n- [Google Cloud provider documentation in HashiCorp](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs)\n- [Infrastructure as code for Google Cloud](/docs/terraform/iac-overview)"]]
