Organization node in GCP - Mini Project: Build & Apply

Create a GCP Organization Node Configuration

📖 Scenario: You are setting up a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environment for a company. The company wants to organize its cloud resources under a single Organization node to manage policies and billing centrally.

🎯 Goal: Build a basic configuration that defines a GCP Organization node with its ID and display name.

📋 What You'll Learn

Create a variable called organization_id with the exact value "123456789012".

Create a variable called organization_display_name with the exact value "Example Corp".

Define a dictionary called organization_node that includes id and display_name keys using the variables above.

Add a final key lifecycle_state with the value "ACTIVE" to the organization_node dictionary.

💡 Why This Matters

🌍 Real World

Organizations in GCP help companies manage all their cloud projects and resources under one roof, making it easier to apply policies and billing.

Understanding how to define and configure organization nodes is essential for cloud administrators and architects managing enterprise cloud environments.

1

Set the Organization ID

Create a variable called organization_id and set it to the string "123456789012".

GCP

# Create a variable called organization_id with the value "123456789012"
# Your code here

Need a hint?

The organization ID is a string of numbers. Use quotes around it.

2

Set the Organization Display Name

Create a variable called organization_display_name and set it to the string "Example Corp".

GCP

organization_id = "123456789012"
# Create a variable called organization_display_name with the value "Example Corp"
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use quotes to set the display name as a string.

3

Define the Organization Node Dictionary

Create a dictionary called organization_node with keys id and display_name. Set their values to the variables organization_id and organization_display_name respectively.

GCP

organization_id = "123456789012"
organization_display_name = "Example Corp"
# Create a dictionary called organization_node with keys 'id' and 'display_name'
# Use the variables organization_id and organization_display_name as values
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Use curly braces to create the dictionary and colons to assign keys to values.

4

Add Lifecycle State to Organization Node

Add a key lifecycle_state with the value "ACTIVE" to the organization_node dictionary.

GCP

organization_id = "123456789012"
organization_display_name = "Example Corp"
organization_node = {
    "id": organization_id,
    "display_name": organization_display_name
}
# Add the key 'lifecycle_state' with value 'ACTIVE' to organization_node
# Your code here

Need a hint?

Add the new key and value inside the dictionary with a comma after the previous entry.
