Terraform support for Cloud Storage

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool that you can use to provision resources and permissions for Cloud Storage. Terraform is integrated with Cloud Shell, and Cloud Shell automatically authenticates Terraform.

When you use Terraform with Cloud Storage, you create a Terraform configuration file that describes your desired infrastructure. When you apply the configuration, Terraform creates an execution plan and performs the operations needed to provision your infrastructure. For example, you can use Terraform to create storage buckets, upload objects, and control the lifecycle of those objects.
