Assemble Google Cloud subscription, configure roles for auto-scaling, and identify a resource group to deploy access nodes.
Prerequisites
You must have permissions to create IAM roles, service accounts, and compute resources in your Google Cloud project.
Procedure
-
Identify the Google Cloud project where the access nodes will be dynamically deployed.
-
Create a custom IAM role (for example, CommvaultGCPAutoScale) that includes permissions to:
-
Create and delete compute instances
-
Manage disks and networking
-
View and use images
-
Write logs
-
-
Create a service account to serve as Scale Manager, and assign the custom role to it.
-
Identify the project where the access nodes will be deployed.
-
For each region, identify the following resources that will be used by deployed access nodes:
-
VPC network
-
Subnet
-
Cloud Storage bucket
-
-
(Optional) Configure an external IP access for compute instances if required by your network design.
