Setting up Cloud Run for Anthos on VMware

This guide shows you how to set up Anthos clusters on VMware (GKE on-prem) with Cloud Run for Anthos enabled.

Note that installing Cloud Run for Anthos on VMware installs Knative Serving into the cluster to connect and manage your stateless workloads.

Before you begin

1. This task assumes that you have active Anthos clusters on VMware (GKE on-prem). Learn how to create Anthos clusters on VMware.

   For information about Anthos, see Anthos Pricing.

2. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

3. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

   Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

   Go to project selector

4. Make sure that billing is enabled for your Cloud project. Learn how to check if billing is enabled on a project.
