Learn how to create auth credentials on Google Container Engine (GKE), so that you can create a GKE cluster using NKS. |
NKS must be set up to manage a project within your Google Container Engine (GKE) account. To do this, log into the Google cloud console at https://console.cloud.google.com.
Click Project to open the drop-down menu.
In the pop-up window which appears, select an organization from the drop-down menu.
Click the + to Create Project.
Fill in "NKS" as the project name, then click Create.
It may take a few moments for the project to be created. Once the task is complete, you will be redirected to the project Dashboard.
The next step is to use the API Manager to enable the Google Container Engine API for this project. Click APIs & Services > Dashboard in the navigation column on the left.
This will take you to the API Manager Dashboard. Click ENABLE APIS AND SERVICES.
This will take you to the API Library. Search for "Google Container Engine".
Click Container Engine API.
This will take you to the Container Engine API page. Click ENABLE to enable the API.
After the new project has been created, click the Credentials link on the left to create credentials.
In the pop-up window which appears, click Create credentials.
From the drop-down menu, choose Service account key.
Click the Service account drop-down menu and choose New service account.
Fill out the following:
-
In the Service Account Name field, give your account a name like
spc-admin. -
For Role select Project > Owner.
-
For Key type select JSON.
Then click Create.
The JSON credentials (keyset) will automatically be saved to your local computer.
Locate the new .json file in your downloads folder and open it with a plaintext editor such as Notepad. Copy and paste the contents into the NKS website when you create a new cluster.
