Installing a cluster on user-provisioned infrastructure in GCP by using Deployment Manager templates
In {product-title} version {product-version}, you can install a cluster on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) that uses infrastructure that you provide.
The steps for performing a user-provided infrastructure install are outlined here. Several Deployment Manager templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods.

The steps for performing a user-provisioned infrastructure installation are provided as an example only. Installing a cluster with infrastructure you provide requires knowledge of the cloud provider and the installation process of {product-title}. Several Deployment Manager templates are provided to assist in completing these steps or to help model your own. You are also free to create the required resources through other methods; the templates are just an example. |
-
You reviewed details about the {product-title} installation and update processes.
-
You read the documentation on selecting a cluster installation method and preparing it for users.
-
If you use a firewall and plan to use the Telemetry service, you configured the firewall to allow the sites that your cluster requires access to.
-
If the cloud identity and access management (IAM) APIs are not accessible in your environment, or if you do not want to store an administrator-level credential secret in the
kube-systemnamespace, you can manually create and maintain long-term credentials.NoteBe sure to also review this site list if you are configuring a proxy.
Before you can install {product-title}, you must configure a Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project to host it.
