02/27/2023, 4:53 PMWe started with this https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/terraform-example-foundation and it’s a very good starting point and a great structure to follow. Good overall documentation and example.

Samuel Maftoul
02/27/2023, 4:57 PMhave you looked at the fabric / fast ? it seems more flexible , but then , more complicated also 😉

02/27/2023, 5:01 PMand yes seems more complicated and lot of modules under the hood… I’m not a huge fan of terraform modules.

Samuel Maftoul
02/27/2023, 5:14 PMexisting one
Samuel Maftoul
02/27/2023, 5:14 PMprobably starting from a folder inside the existing one

02/27/2023, 5:15 PMI would say to adapt to an existing organization it’ll be more complicated. Like network peering, organization policy etc… But I don’t have a clear idea of all the work needed to adapt to an existing organization

Samuel Maftoul
02/27/2023, 5:16 PMok, and a new one then ?
k
Kevin Bélanger
02/27/2023, 5:17 PMReally more easier because you adapt as you go.
Kevin Bélanger
02/27/2023, 5:17 PMI would say couple of hours to have something terraformed from your machine

Samuel Maftoul
02/27/2023, 5:17 PMsame for a new folder then 😉 (beside some “small” technical details)
