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.

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
