Where Is the Key?
Resource "Google_Service_Account" "Myaccount" { Account_Id = "Dev-Foo-Account" } Resource "Google_Service_Account_Key" "Mykey" { Service_Account_Id =...
resource "google_service_account" "myaccount" {
account_id = "dev-foo-account"
}
resource "google_service_account_key" "mykey" {
service_account_id = google_service_account.myaccount.name
}
data "google_service_account_key" "mykey" {
name = google_service_account_key.mykey.name
public_key_type = "TYPE_X509_PEM_FILE"
}
If I create a Service Account and a key like this - how do I obtain the key afterwards?
terraform output yields:
$ terraform output -json google_service_account_key
The output variable requested could not be found in the state
file. If you recently added this to your configuration, be
sure to run `terraform apply`, since the state won't be updated
with new output variables until that command is run.

You have to put that variable as an output if you want to use it after apply the plan:
output "my_private_key" {
value = data.google_service_account_key.mykey.private_key
}
To output the value of "my_private_key":
$ terraform output my_private_key
To obtain the credentials as a JSON which can later be used for authentication:
$ terraform output -raw key | base64 -d -
