Google Cloud Platform Node Steps

Getting Started

TIP

It is helpful to configure the GCP Compute VM resource model plugin before using these steps: GCP Compute VM Resource Model

Google Cloud Platform (opens new window) (GCP) is a cloud service in wide use for dynamic infrastructure; it is easy to start up and shut down Node "Instances" in the cloud. Use these Rundeck steps to automate common GCP Compute VM actions.

To configure Authentication please use this page as a reference to gather the information below. Creating and Managing Service Account Keys (opens new window).

Project ID

Specify your GCP Project ID.

This setting can be configured using System Configuration using gcp.projectId or project specific using project.gcp.projectId

Zone

Specify your GCP Secret Key. If using the GCP Node Source it's possible to use ${node.zone} and the Zone will be dynamically populated with the region for that node.

This setting can be configured using System Configuration using gcp.zone or project specific using project.gcp.zone

Access Key Path

Path to Key Storage entry containing the Access Key.

This setting can be configured using System Configuration using gcp.zone or project specific using project.gcp.zone

Compute VM VM Node Steps (Enterprise Only)

GCP / VM / Start

Start the Compute VM instance.

GCP / VM / Stop

Start the Compute VM instance.

GCP / VM / Restart

Start the Compute VM instance.

GCP / VM / Delete

Terminate the Compute VM instance.

WARNING

Be very careful when using this step. It would be possible to remove a lot of instances by mistake if the node filter is too broad.
