Now, we are going to create a static IP and assign it to our machine so it always uses the same IP. The way of doing this through Terraform is creating a resource of the type google_compute_address, as follows:

resource "google_compute_address" "my-first-ip" { name = "static-ip-address"}

Now, we can execute terraform plan ...
