Terraform Best Practices

https://www.terraform-best-practices.com/ https://cloud.google.com/docs/terraform/best-practices-for-terraform

1. Follow a standard module structure
2. Adopt a naming convention
   1. Dashes vs. underscores:
      1. Recommended:

         resource "google_compute_instance" "web_server" {
           name = "web-server"
         }
         

         resource "google_compute_instance" "web-server" {
           name = "web-server"
         }
         

   2. Make resource names singular.
   3. In the resource name, don't repeat the resource type. For example:
      1. Recommended:

         resource "google_compute_global_address" "main" { ... }
         

resource "google_compute_global_address" "main_global_address" { … }
