Use Terraform to create an object in a Cloud Storage bucket

Code sample

Terraform

To learn how to apply or remove a Terraform configuration, see Basic Terraform commands. For more information, see the Terraform provider reference documentation. 

# Create new storage bucket in the US multi-region
# with coldline storage
resource "random_id" "bucket_prefix" {
  byte_length = 8
}

resource "google_storage_bucket" "static" {
  name          = "${random_id.bucket_prefix.hex}-new-bucket"
  location      = "US"
  storage_class = "COLDLINE"

  uniform_bucket_level_access = true
}

# Create a text object in Cloud Storage
resource "google_storage_bucket_object" "default" {
  name = "new-object"
  # Use `source` or `content`
  # source       = "/path/to/an/object"
  content      = "Data as string to be uploaded"
  content_type = "text/plain"
  bucket       = google_storage_bucket.static.id
}

# Get object metadata
data "google_storage_bucket_object" "default" {
  name   = google_storage_bucket_object.default.name
  bucket = google_storage_bucket.static.id
}

output "object_metadata" {
  value = data.google_storage_bucket_object.default
}

# Get bucket metadata
data "google_storage_bucket" "default" {
  name = google_storage_bucket.static.id
}

output "bucket_metadata" {
  value = data.google_storage_bucket.default
}
