Many Google Cloud Marketplace products drive customer usage of Google Cloud infrastructure and resources. You can integrate labels into your products that give Google insights into your products' impact in terms of their associated customer Google Cloud usage, which Google can use to showcase impact and guide go to market (GTM) investments.
This document describes how to set up partner consumption tracking for Kubernetes apps that you offer through Cloud Marketplace.
Label schema
Labels are key-value pairs that you can assign to Google Cloud resources. For more information about labels, see the Overview of labels .
When you use labels for partner consumption tracking, your labels use the following format:
goog-partner-solution = SOLUTION_URN
Find your product's consumption tracking label
For each product that you offer through Cloud Marketplace, you can find its associated consumption tracking label in Producer Portal. To find the label, take the following steps:
- In Producer Portal, visit the Overviewpage.
- In the list of your products, find the product whose consumption you want to track.
- Copy and save the value listed for Consumption tracking label.
- When you integrate your product's consumption tracking, use the consumption tracking label that you saved.
The direct link to the Producer Portal Overviewpage is:
https://console.cloud.google.com/producer-portal?project= YOUR_PROJECT_ID
Integrate the consumption tracking label with your Kubernetes app
To turn on consumption tracking for your Kubernetes app, complete the following steps:
- Include the consumption tracking label in all of your Pod specifications, as shown in the example that follows.
- Create your Pod specification with defined resources.
With Terraform, you can add a default label at the Google provider level that applies to all Google Cloud resources that Terraform deploys. For more information about using default labels with Terraform, see the Google Cloud Provider Configuration Reference in the Terraform documentation.
Example consumption tracking label integration
The following example shows a Pod specification for a Kubernetes deployment with a consumption tracking label added to it:

Replace SOLUTION_URN with your app's consumption tracking label. To find the consumption tracking label, in Producer Portal, find your app in the Your productstable. The value in the Consumption tracking labelcolumn is your app's consumption tracking label.
In this sample, the following lines define the resources, which is required for consumption tracking:
