Setting Up a Splunk Testing Environment Using Terraform & GCP

Overview

Have you ever wished you had a fresh ephemeral Splunk instance that you could quickly spin up, run some tests and then kill it, with maximum speed and minimum cloud costs?

Enter Hashi Terraform to the rescue. The industry-leading infrastructure-as-code tool makes the standup, setup and teardown of cloud compute nodes simple, speedy and repeatable so that an environment can be built, a complete set of tests can be run, results received and the test nodes destroyed in minutes rather than hours.

In this whitepaper, I show how I set up my computer and built the Search Head and Deployment server, as well as how I set up the many Splunk Universal Forwarders to satisfy the test plan.
