    Note: Keep in mind that Terraform will replace ${var} variables defined in the metadata.tf with their respective values when altering the inputs_schema file.

Completing the deployment

Once you set the parameters, take the following steps:

  1. Open a terminal and authenticate to GCP using the following command.
    gcloud auth application-default logingcloud auth application-default login
