How do I create a GCP organization folder with Pulumi?

In this guide, we will create a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) organization folder using Pulumi in TypeScript. This is useful for organizing your GCP resources within your organization. We will define and deploy a folder under a specified parent resource (which can be an organization or another folder).

Key Points:

• We will use the gcp.organizations.Folder resource to create the folder.
• The parent property specifies the parent resource under which the folder will be created.
• The displayName property sets the name of the folder.

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as gcp from "@pulumi/gcp";

// Define the parent resource (organization or folder ID)
const parentResource = "organizations/1234567890"; // Replace with your organization ID

// Create a new GCP organization folder
const myFolder = new gcp.organizations.Folder("myFolder", {
    parent: parentResource,
    displayName: "My New Folder",
});

// Export the name and parent of the created folder
export const folderName = myFolder.displayName;
export const folderParent = myFolder.parent;

Summary:

In this program, we created a GCP organization folder under a specified parent resource using Pulumi. We defined the folder’s parent and displayName properties and exported the folder’s name and parent for reference. This setup helps in organizing and managing GCP resources efficiently within an organization.
