Deploying infrastructure on GCP with Terraform Cloud necessitates a service account with specific permissions. This includes managing GKE clusters, Helm charts, and Google Secret Manager secrets. To ensure security, it's recommended to assign permissions adhering to the least privilege principle rather than opting for broad roles like Owner or Editor. Important steps also include generating a JSON key for the service account and enabling necessary APIs in GCP to prevent Terraform errors during deployment.
