Connecting your cloud

Tip

If you're using Cloud Shell, add the ./ prefix to the biganimal command (./biganimal).

To connect your cloud:

  1. Open Google Cloud Shell in your browser.

  2. Create a BigAnimal CLI credential:

    biganimal credential create --name <cred>

  3. To set up your cloud provider, run the setup-csp command:

     biganimal cloud-provider setup

    The command checks for cloud account readiness and displays the results.

  4. If the following cloud readiness checks pass for your cloud service provider, your cloud account is successfully set up:

    • Is the Google Cloud CLI configured to access your Google Cloud account?

    • Is the limit on the number of vCPUs and network load balancers (NLBs) in your region enough for your clusters?

    If the readiness checks aren't met, see Configure your Google Cloud account to manually configure your cloud.

  5. Connect your cloud account to BigAnimal:

    biganimal cloud-provider connect --provider gcp --project <project-name>

    After your cloud account is successfully connected to BigAnimal, you and other users with the correct permissions can create clusters.
