create-service-account

Creates Google Cloud Platform (GCP) service accounts with roles that allow individual Apigee hybrid components to make authorized API calls and downloads the associated service account key files. You can use the service account key files generated by this command in your configuration overrides file.

The create-service-account tool is located in hybrid_root_dir /tools directory.

Prerequisites

The create-service-account tool requires that the gcloud CLI be installed. Users invoking the utility should have the role Service Account Admin .

To get started, be sure your gcloud project configuration is set to the project you created in Step 2: Create a Google Cloud project :

gcloud config list project

If you need to change the current project ID, use this command:

gcloud config set project gcp_project_id 

Where gcp_project_id is the project created in Step 2: Create a Google Cloud project .

create-service-account syntax

The create-service-account tool uses the following syntax:

create-service-account component_name 
 output_dir 
[ gcp_project_id 
]

Where:

• component_name : Specifies the hybrid service that uses the service account. Valid values are:
  • apigee-cassandra
  • apigee-logger
  • apigee-mart
  • apigee-metrics
  • apigee-synchronizer
  • apigee-udca

  Note that the create-service-account tool cannot create the apigee-org-admin service account. You must create that either with the GCP or gCloud APIs, as described in Create service accounts .

• output_dir : The output directory in which to store the downloaded service account key.
• gcp_project_id : (Optional) Specifies the GCP project ID of the project that is bound to your hybrid-enabled organization. If the GCP project ID is not provided, the tool attempts to retrieve it from the current gcloud configuration.

Detailed description

The create-service-account tool:

• Creates GCP service accounts used by hybrid components. The created service account is granted the role required by the specific component to operate.
• Downloads the service account key to your system. You place the service account keys in your hybrid configuration overrides file, as explained in the hybrid installation instructions .

The tool creates service accounts for the following components:

You can also create service accounts in the GCP Console. See also Creating and managing service accounts .

Example

The following example creates a new service account for the apigee-logger service and places the downloaded key in the ./service-accounts directory.

./my-hybrid-root/tools/create-service-account apigee-logger ./service-accounts
