# google\_compute\_project\_metadata

Manages metadata common to all instances for a project in GCE. For more information see
[the official documentation](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/storing-retrieving-metadata)
and

resource "google_compute_project_metadata" "default" {
  metadata {
    foo  = "bar"
    fizz = "buzz"
    "13" = "42"
  }
}
```
