Configuring your Google Cloud project

Stay organized with collections Save and categorize content based on your preferences.

This page shows how to configure your Google Cloud project before you install GKE on-prem.

To install GKE on-prem, you must have an Anthos subscription. And if you have an Anthos subscription, you have already done the following:

  • Created a Google Cloud project.

  • In your Google Cloud project, created a service account and arranged for your service account to be allowlisted. The GKE on-prem documentation refers to this account as your allowlisted service account.

Logging in

Log in to Google Cloud using your account credentials:

gcloud auth login

Setting a default project ID

Set a default project ID:

gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]

where [PROJECT_ID] is your project ID.

Now that you have a default project ID, you won't have to include the --project flag in your gcloud commands.
