Standardize creation and management of multiple Google Cloud resources with Infrastructure as Code while minimizing repetitive code. What should you do?

Cloud Deployment Manager is Google Cloud's native Infrastructure as Code (IaC) service. It allows you to define and manage Google Cloud resources using declarative configuration files (templates) written in YAML or Python. This approach standardizes resource creation, enables version control, and minimizes repetitive code through reusable templates and configurations. Using curl for REST API calls is a manual, low-level approach that is not scalable or maintainable for managing multiple resources. The Cloud Console UI is a graphical interface suitable for individual resource management but lacks automation and version control for large-scale deployments. A bash script with gcloud commands offers some automation but is less declarative, harder to maintain, and less robust than dedicated IaC solutions like Deployment Manager, especially for complex dependencies and state management.
