Before you begin

You must have a Google Cloud account with active billing. This applies whether you want to provision a production or evaluation organization. While an evaluation organization does not itself incur any charges against your account, some APIs used by the organization do; for example, the Compute Engine API.

For more information, see Create a new billing account .

Create a new Google Cloud project. When you do, be sure to note the project ID and project number. You'll need the ID and number later in this process.

Project names must adhere to the following guidelines:

• Start with a lower-case letter. For example, my-org is OK, but _my-org is not.
• Include the following characters only:

  [a-z]   Lower-case letters
  [0-9]   Numbers
  -       Hyphens

  For example:

   VALID NAMES 
   INVALID NAMES 
   my-project 
   my_project        No underscores 
   first-project 
   1st-project       Cannot start with a number 
   google-project 
   project@google    No special chars except hyphens 
  

For more information, see Creating a project .

Install the following software on your administrative machine:

• Google Cloud SDK (required for command line provisioning steps)
• curl (recommended)

The individual who provisions Apigee must have or be granted certain Google Cloud IAM permissions to be successful. For details, see About Apigee provisioning permissions .
