Conventions used
There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.
Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Within this repository, under the Chapter-8 folder, there is just one subfolder called terraform.”
A block of code is set as follows:
provider "google" {
credentials = file("project-service-account-key.json")
project = "autoscaling-simulation-lab"
region = "southamerica-east1"
zone = "southamerica-east1-a"
}
When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:
resource "google_compute_autoscaler" "foobar" {
...
autoscaling_policy {
max_replicas = 5
min_replicas = 1
cooldown_period = 60
Any command-line input or output is written as follows:
$ terraform init
Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “To do this, we navigate to the Settings tab in our GitHub repository. Then select Secrets on the left side, and choose Actions.”
