Hi Pradeep,

Thanks for the above.
For future readers, as of March 22nd, 2020 there has been some changes to Google Cloud Images documentation and running the above may lead to an error.

The following below needs to be changed from:
This

 
data "google_compute_image" "debian" {
     family  = "ubuntu-1804-lts"
     project = "gce-uefi-images"
}

To

data "google_compute_image" "debian" {
    family  = "debian-9"
    project = "debian-cloud"
}
