Before you begin

In addition to the prerequisites, please ensure the following settings are enabled on your GCP project.

  1. Project Billing: For this, search Billing on your Google Cloud project.

    1. Click Link a Billing Account, and configure the billing information.
      Once your billing is enabled, you will see an estimate as shown in the following figure.

  2. Compute Engine APIs: Search for Compute Engine APIs on your project, and click the Enable button.
    Once the API is enabled, the corresponding status is displayed, as shown in the following figure.

  3. Cloud Key Management Service (KMS) API: Enable this API, which extends customer control over encryption keys.

  4. Cloud Resource Manager API: Search for Cloud Resource Manager API on your project, and click the Enable button.
    Once the API is enabled, the API Enabled status is displayed, as shown in the following figure.

  5. Enable the following APIs on your project. Refer to the GCP documentation for details.

    1. Cloud Functions

    2. Cloud Build

    3. Cloud Scheduler

  6. Create an App Engine project and select the region where you want to deploy your resources.

  7. To the default Google APIs Service Agent service account, add the storage.buckets.get role. This is required to delete deployment through the Deployment Manager.

  8. Kubernetes Engine API: Search for Kubernetes Engine API on your project and click the Enable button. Once the API is enabled, the API Enabled status is displayed.

Creating resources using script

  1. Download the terraform.tar (available in GCP Installation Files) file on your workstation.

  2. On your workstation, install the gcloud command-line tool.

  3. To execute Terraform on Google Cloud Platform's Cloud Shell, activate Cloud Shell.

  4. Configure the gcloud command-line tool to use your project using the following command.
    gcloud config set project [MY_PROJECT]
    Here, replace [MY_PROJECT] with your project ID.

Note

After opening the terminal in Cloud Shell, ensure that Cloud Shell is configured to operate within the same project where you intend to deploy your resources.

  1. Copy terrform.tar file and untar it. The following subdirectories and files are displayed.
