Adding Google Storage Bucket that already exist

[Jim Alateras]

I was wondering whether there was a way to add a bucket that already exists to my terraform script. Currently, this throws a 409, bucket name already exists exception. Is there a lifecycle hook or something similar that would allow me to skip the creation of the bucket if it exists.

resource "google_storage_bucket" "etcd-backup" {
  name     = "${var.etcd_bucket}"
  location = "US-WEST1"
  project  = "${var.project_id}"
}

cheers

Use "terraform import"

Why cannot we use a "data" resource rather than "terraform import". Would love to learn

It depends what you are trying to achieve.

If you are wanting Terraform to manage the bucket, add the resource and the run "terraform import".

If you are just wanting to refer to the bucket elsewhere, but not manage the bucket, use a data source.

Ok got it. Just to be clear when you say "manage", you create, change and destroy?
