Chapter 3, Writing Efficient Terraform Code, introduces specific Terraform constructs to help you develop efficient Terraform code and explains how to expose Terraform state information.

Chapter 4, Writing Reusable Code Using Modules, explains how to develop Terraform Modules to reuse and share Terraform code.

Chapter 5, Managing Environments, compares the two primary methods to manage multiple environments using the same Terraform code base.

Chapter 6, Deploying a Traditional Three-Tier Architecture, uses the concepts introduced so far to build a complete three-tier architecture.

Chapter 7, Deploying a Cloud-Native Architecture Using Cloud Run, continues to apply the concepts learned to deploy a cloud-native, completely serverless architecture.

Chapter 8, Deploying GKE Using Public Modules, describes how to use two of the most common Public Modules to deploy a development and production GKE cluster using only differing variable assignments.

Chapter 9, Developing Terraform Code Efficiently, introduces four of the most common tools to improve your Terraform workflow.

Chapter 10, Google Cloud Integration, shows how to use Cloud Build to create a CI/CD pipeline for Terraform and introduces a unique Google Cloud feature for importing existing cloud resources into the realm of Terraform.
