  1. Select or create a Cloud Platform project.

  2. Enable billing for your project.

  3. Enable the Managed Service for Microsoft Active Directory.

  4. Setup Authentication.

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Mac/Linux

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install google-cloud-managed-identities

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
