Enabling required Google Cloud APIs

For Turbonomic to discover your Google Cloud environment and billing data, you must enable the following APIs:

• Cloud Resource Manager API

  Creates, reads, and updates metadata for resource containers.

• Compute Engine API

  Creates VMs and volumes.

• Cloud Billing API

  Enables developers to manage billing for their projects programmatically.

• BigQuery API

  A data platform for customers to create, manage, share, and query data.

To enable these APIs:

1. Navigate the Google Cloud Console to the library of APIs.

   On the Google Cloud Console home page, navigate to APIs & Services > Library.

2. Search for the API you want to enable.

   In the API Library Search box, enter the name of the API you want to enable. Then press Enter to execute the search. Repeat these steps for each of:

   • Cloud Resource Manager API

   • Compute Engine API

   • Cloud Billing API

   • BigQuery API

3. Enable the given API.

   In the list that appears, click the API name to navigate to that API page. If the API is not already enabled, click Enable.

   After you enable the given API, the console displays a details page for that API.

4. Navigate to the console Home page.

   For each API you want to enable, navigate back to the home page and repeat these steps.

If you run Turbonomic behind a firewall, configure firewall and proxy access (see this topic). Otherwise, set up a service account for workload monitoring in Google Cloud (see this topic).
