+# Dataproc Metastore Service Deletion Protection - Terraform
+
+## Setup
+
+<walkthrough-author name="rileykarson@google.com" analyticsId="UA-125550242-1" tutorialName="dataproc_metastore_service_deletion_protection" repositoryUrl="https://github.com/terraform-google-modules/docs-examples"></walkthrough-author>
+
+Welcome to Terraform in Google Cloud Shell! We need you to let us know what project you'd like to use with Terraform.
+
+<walkthrough-project-billing-setup></walkthrough-project-billing-setup>
+
+Terraform provisions real GCP resources, so anything you create in this session will be billed against this project.
+
+## Terraforming!
+
+Let's use {{project-id}} with Terraform! Click the Cloud Shell icon below to copy the command
+to your shell, and then run it from the shell by pressing Enter/Return. Terraform will pick up
+the project name from the environment variable.
+
+```bash
+export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT={{project-id}}
+```
+
+After that, let's get Terraform started. Run the following to pull in the providers.
+
+```bash
+terraform init
+```
+
+With the providers downloaded and a project set, you're ready to use Terraform. Go ahead!
+
+```bash
+terraform apply
+```
+
+Terraform will show you what it plans to do, and prompt you to accept. Type "yes" to accept the plan.
+
+```bash
+yes
+```
+
+
+## Post-Apply
+
+### Editing your config
+
+Now you've provisioned your resources in GCP! If you run a "plan", you should see no changes needed.
+
+```bash
+terraform plan
+```
+
+So let's make a change! Try editing a number, or appending a value to the name in the editor. Then,
+run a 'plan' again.
+
+```bash
+terraform plan
+```
+
+Afterwards you can run an apply, which implicitly does a plan and shows you the intended changes
+at the 'yes' prompt.
+
+```bash
+terraform apply
+```
+
+```bash
+yes
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Run the following to remove the resources Terraform provisioned:
+
+```bash
+terraform destroy
+```
+```bash
+yes
+```
