notes

  • create IAM default service account and download json key then check path specification

  • initialize terraform and bring up the cloud infrastructure.

    • need to check the organization and workspace names in terraform and update them in the code as well
  • check compute engine and clusters as well as the terraform site to make sure the deployment succeeded
