Pre-requsite - Important to read terraform.tfvars and variable.tf

* Replace `terraform.tfvars` values with your `project_id` , `region` and other variables. Your  `project_id` &  `region`  must match the project you've initialized gcloud with. 

* You may not need project_id, region and few otehr variabled if you are running locally

* Do NOT use upper case for the value you are going to replace.

Components created
