    Installation

    The Google Cloud (GCP) Classic provider is available as a package in all Pulumi languages:

    Credentials

    To provision resources with the Pulumi Google Cloud Provider, you need to have Google credentials.

    Default auth credentials

    When developing locally, we recommend that you install the Google Cloud SDK and then authorize access with a user account. Next, Pulumi requires default application credentials to interact with your Google Cloud resources, so run auth application-default login command to obtain those credentials:

    $ gcloud auth application-default login

    To configure Pulumi to interact with your Google Cloud project, set it with the pulumi config command using the project’s ID:

    $ pulumi config set gcp:project your-gcp-project-id

    You may also set your Google Cloud Project via environment variable (listed in order of precedence):

    • GOOGLE_PROJECT
    • GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT
    • GCLOUD_PROJECT
    • CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT
    $ export GOOGLE_PROJECT=your-gcp-project-id

    Using a Service Account

    If you are using Pulumi in a non-interactive setting (such as a CI/CD system) you will need to configure and use a service account instead.

    Configuration

    There are a few different ways you can configure GCP credentials to work with Pulumi.

    Set configuration via pulumi config

    You can set any configuration option in your Pulumi.yaml, for example:

    $ pulumi config set gcp:project <your-gcp-project-id> # e.g. shinycorp-prod
$ pulumi config set gcp:region <your-region> # e.g us-west1
$ pulumi config set gcp:zone <your-zone> # e.g us-west1-a

    Set configuration via environment variables

    We recommend using pulumi config for the options below, but you can also set some of them as environment variables instead. For example:

    • GOOGLE_PROJECT - The default project for new resources, if one is not specified when creating a resource
    • GOOGLE_REGION - The default region for new resources, if one is not specified when creating a resource
    • GOOGLE_ZONE - The default zone for new resources, if one is not specified when creating a resource.

    Configuration reference

    Use pulumi config set gcp:<option> or pass options to the constructor of new gcp.Provider.

    OptionRequired?Description
    projectRequiredThe ID of the project to apply any resources to. This can also be specified using any of the following environment variables (listed in order of precedence): GOOGLE_PROJECT, GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, GCLOUD_PROJECT, CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT.
    regionOptionalThe region to operate under, if not specified by a given resource. This can also be specified using any of the following environment variables (listed in order of precedence): GOOGLE_REGION, GCLOUD_REGION, CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.
    zoneOptionalThe zone to operate under, if not specified by a given resource. This can also be specified using any of the following environment variables (listed in order of precedence): GOOGLE_ZONE, GCLOUD_ZONE, CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
    credentialsOptionalContents of a file (or path to a file) that contains your service account private key in JSON format. Credentials can also be specified using any of the following environment variables (listed in order of precedence): GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS, GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON, GCLOUD_KEYFILE_JSON. If no credentials are specified, the provider will fall back to using the Google Application Default Credentials. If you are running Pulumi from a GCE instance, see Creating and Enabling Service Accounts for Instances for details.
    accessTokenOptionalA temporary OAuth 2.0 access token obtained from the Google Authorization server, i.e. the Authorization: Bearer token used to authenticate HTTP requests to GCP APIs. Alternative to credentials. Ignores the scopes field.
    scopesOptionalList of OAuth 2.0 scopes requested when generating an access token using the service account key specified in credentials. Defaults: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform and https://www.googleapis.com/auth/userinfo.email
    impersonateServiceAccountOptionalSetting to impersonate a Google service account If you authenticate as a service account, Google Cloud derives your quota project and permissions from that service account rather than your primary authentication method. A valid primary authentication mechanism must be provided for the impersonation call, and your primary identity must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on the service account you are impersonating. This can also be specified by setting the GOOGLE_IMPERSONATE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT environment variable.
