Add a Google Cloud Platform Cloud Account

To create a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) cloud account, you make a POST request. The request body includes GCP-specific parameters required to create the cloud account.

Prerequisites

Verify that all general prerequisites have been satisfied. See Prerequisites for working with the Cloud Assembly APIs.
Verify that you have the following parameters for the new cloud account:
- GCP project ID
- GCP private key ID
- GCP private key
- GCP client email

Procedure

Assign the GCP account variables.

gcp_project_id='<your_gcp_projct_id>'
gcp_private_key_id='<your_gcp_private_key_id>'
gcp_private_key='<your_gcp_private_key>'
gcp_client_email='<your_gcp_client_email>'

Submit a request to create a GCP cloud account with default cloud zones.

curl -X POST \
  "$url/iaas/api/cloud-accounts?apiVersion=$api_version" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $access_token" \
  -d '{
    "cloudAccountType":"gcp",
    "privateKeyId":"'$gcp_private_key_id'",
    "privateKey":"'$gcp_private_key'",
    "cloudAccountProperties":{

  }' | jq "."
