## What it is
Google's Cloud Foundation Toolkit provides production-ready Terraform blueprints encoding GCP best practices, plus a CLI for creating and managing those blueprints. It is maintained by GoogleCloudPlatform and written in Go.

## Use cases
- provision GCP infrastructure with Terraform following best practices
- bootstrap a landing zone on Google Cloud
- manage Terraform blueprints from the command line
- find reusable modules for GCP projects and VPCs
- compare CFT with Fabric for GCP IaC

## When to choose
- you are building on Google Cloud and want opinionated, production-ready Terraform modules
- you need a CLI to scaffold and maintain Terraform blueprints
- you want Google-maintained IaC defaults instead of writing modules from scratch

## When to avoid
- you deploy to AWS or Azure rather than GCP
- you prefer Pulumi, CloudFormation, or hand-rolled Terraform without opinionated blueprints
- you need Config Connector blueprints, which live in a separate repository
