Variable definition files (.tfvars):
Use .tfvars or .tfvars.json files to store variable values. Terraform loads all such files in the working directory by default, or you can specify a file using the -var-file flag.
Example (terraform.tfvars.json):
```
{
"credentials_file": "credentials.json",
"project_id": "variable-tf-demo",
"region": "us-central1",
"zone": "us-central1-a",
"image_name": "debian-cloud/debian-11",
