This page provides an overview of the steps you need to complete to set up and configure access for Google Cloud NetApp Volumes.
Before you begin
NetApp Volumes supports both NFS and SMB protocols.
If you are only testing out NetApp Volumes and don't plan to keep the resources that you create, we recommend that you create a new project instead of selecting an existing project. When you're done testing, you can delete the project, which removes all resources associated with the project.
If you use an existing project, it cannot be a project that uses Cloud Volumes Service.
Configuration steps
You must complete the following steps to successfully set up NetApp Volumes:
In the Google Cloud console, select or create a Google Cloud project.
Enable billing on the project.
Enable the NetApp Volumes API.
Sign up to receive announcements for application updates.
Configure Google Cloud tools:
Set up the Google Cloud console.
Install the Google Cloud CLI.
If a customer-managed encryption key is required, create a CMEK policy.
If an Active Directory is required, create an Active Directory policy.
Create a storage pool.
If you're using an Active Directory, create an NFSv3 volume to test peering. You can delete the volume after testing.
Optional: Monitor your volume usage.
Optional: Create a volume replication.
