2. Set up Pub/Sub to forward logs to a custom service
3. Build a Python-based log forwarder packaged in Docker
4. Deploy the forwarder to Cloud Run
5. Ensure logs are sent in near real-time to a Splunk HEC endpoint
6. Provide Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using Terraform
7. Deliver basic documentation for setup and usage

Requirements –
1. Strong experience with GCP services (Log Sink, Pub/Sub, Cloud Run)
2. Proficient in Python and Docker
3. Hands-on experience with Terraform
