Create a Cloud Storage bucket and a Service Account for Quick Deployment

If you choose to use the quick deployment method to create a CelerData cluster in Google Cloud, you need to upload the Terraform templates to a Cloud Storage bucket that you can access, and create a service account with the Owner role for Infrastructure Manager to launch and manage necessary resources for your cluster.

You can skip this section if you already have a bucket. Make sure the service account you create in the following step can access this bucket.

  1. Sign in to your project in the Google Cloud console.

  2. Expand the left-side navigation menu, and choose Cloud Storage > Buckets.

  3. Click Create. Image

  4. On the Create a bucket page, follow these steps:

    a. Enter a globally unique name for your bucket (for example, bucket-project-test), and click Continue.

    b. For Location type, choose Region, select the region where you want to deploy your cluster, and click Continue.

    c. Choose Set a default Class and then Standard, and click Continue.

    d. For Prevent public access, keep Enforce public access prevention on this bucket selected, and select Fine-grained in Access control.

  5. Click Create.
