+# Terraform Google Cloud Platform Provider - Example Versioned Module
+
+The `google` and `google-beta` split requires users to explicitly set
+the version of the Google provider for Terraform that they are using;
+see the [Google Provider Versions](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/google/provider_versions.html)
+page for more details.
+
+This has complicated module creation as the schema between `google`
+and `google-beta` often differs; specifying a Beta feature with
+the `google` provider will give an error. This example module
+demonstrates how to create a "versioned" module that detects the
+necessary version for a resource based on the fields specified.
+
+This example only solves the simple case of a single beta field
+in a single resource, but should give module developers the right
+ideas on how to develop more complex modules intermixing `google`
+and `google-beta`.
