Apigee hybrid requires that you have a Google Cloud project, which you can create after you
create a Google Cloud account.
This section describes how to create a new Google Cloud project. If you want to use an existing Google Cloud
project (of which you are an owner) with hybrid, skip to Step 3: Enable APIs.
Enter a friendly name for your project in the Project name field.
The project name can contain only letters, numbers, single quotes, hyphens, spaces, or
exclamation points.
Google Cloud generates a corresponding project ID below the Project name field, as
the following example shows.
You can change the generated Project ID by clicking Edit, but the project
ID must be unique. The project ID can have lowercase letters, digits, or hyphens, and must start
with a lowercase letter.
Take note of the Project ID. You will use it later in this setup process.
In the Billing account field, select the Google Cloud billing account to use to pay
for your project. If you do not yet have a Google Cloud billing account, see the following:
