This article introduces the screen layouts that your customers see when they
deploy your product, for products based on auto-generated standard packages.
To see the customer view directly for yourself, follow the instructions at
Test your VM product.
Customer view of deploying a package
Terraform UI
The standard customer input elements are shown on the left side of the
following screenshot and include zone, machine type, disk options, and
networking options. If your product supports Terraform UI deployment, your
customers can switch between Terraform UI or
Terraform CLI.
The customer must specify a deployment service account, which
Infra Manager uses to run the command Terraform apply.
If a customer's deployment requires multiple network interface cards, they can
add additional network interfaces by clicking Add network interface.
To deploy your product, your customers must fill out the input fields, and
then click Deploy.
Terraform CLI
The standard customer input elements are shown on the left side of the
following screenshot and include service account and gcloud CLI
configuration instructions.
If you configured a default Terraform module, your customers click
Generate Code to generate a code snippet. If you configured a custom
Terraform module for command-line deployment, your customers click
Download.
Deployment Manager
The standard customer input elements are shown on the left side of the
following screenshot and include zone, machine type, disk options, and
