Set up a project

Before you perform operations in Telecom Network Automation, you must set up a Google Cloud project. To set up a project, complete the following steps.

Before you begin

Before continuing, ensure you have the following:

• The latest version of the gcloud command line interface (CLI) tool. Do either of the following:

  • For full installation instructions, see Install the gcloud CLI .

  • Update your existing version using the following command:

     gcloud  
    components  
    update 
    

• Confirm you have version 1.25.8 of the kubectl CLI.

• Have one or more GDC racks at target locations.

  • The software must run version 1.5.0. For more information, see Installation requirements .

Set up your Google Cloud project

Before you provision Telecom Network Automation, you must set up a Google Cloud project:

1. Set your default project:

    gcloud  
   config  
    set 
     
   project  
    PROJECT_NAME 
    
   

   Replace PROJECT_NAME with a name for your project.

2. In the default project, start the GKE compute endpoints:

    gcloud  
   services  
    enable 
     
   compute.googleapis.com 
   

3. Assign the environment variables:

     export 
     
    PROJECT_ID 
    = 
    $( 
   gcloud  
   config  
   get-value  
   project ) 
    export 
     
    PROJECT_NUM 
    = 
    $( 
   gcloud  
   projects  
   describe  
    $PROJECT_ID 
   --format = 
    "value(projectNumber)" 
    ) 
    export 
     
    LOCATION 
    = 
    ZONE 
    # create a /workdir to clone all repositories 
   mkdir  
   ~/workdir cd 
     
   ~/workdir 
   

   Replace ZONE with the zone closest to your location, such as us-central1-a .

4. Assign IAM roles to users in your organization to grant permission to your Google Cloud project:

    gcloud  
   projects  
   add-iam-policy-binding  
    $PROJECT_ID 
   --member = 
    'user: EMAIL 
   ' 
     
   --role = 
    ' ROLE 
   ' 
    
   

   Replace the following:

   • EMAIL : the email of the user to bind the role to.
   • ROLE : the name of the role. For example, roles/owner . For a full list of Telecom Network Automation roles, see Architecture and permissions .

5. Enable Telecom Network Automation endpoints in the project:

    gcloud  
   services  
    enable 
     
   telcoautomation.googleapis.com 
   

6. Set the default gcloud timeout:

    gcloud  
   config  
    set 
     
   http_timeout  
    3600 
    
   

7. Resolve Telecom Network Automation deployments by granting the Logs Viewer role to the limited-access Telecom Network Automation monitoring group:

    gcloud  
   projects  
   add-iam-policy-binding  
    $PROJECT_ID 
   --member = 
   group:cloud-gmec-tna-monitoring-team@twosync.google.com  
   --role = 
   roles/logging.viewer
