Adding a Google Cloud target
Add an Google Cloud target in the Turbonomic user interface to monitor and optimize workloads in your Google Cloud environment. This target specifies the service account that Turbonomic will use to connect to Google Cloud.
Before performing this task, be sure you have the key file for the service account that Turbonomic will use to connect to Google Cloud. If you do not have this key, follow the steps outlined in this topic.
Adding the target
This topic describes features that are available in the new design of the user interface. This
new design is enabled by default. If you switched to the legacy design, click in the navigation bar of the user interface and then turn on the toggle to
re-enable the new design. For more information, see New Design for the User Interface.

After adding a Google Cloud target
Turbonomic starts to discover the projects that define compute, storage, and networking resources for your workloads. It then creates a derived target for each discovered project. Derived targets are not directly modifiable within Turbonomic but can be validated like any other target.
Turbonomic discovers a broader resource hierarchy if you added a target with permissions to access folders or your entire organization.
