Enabling service
Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to
Google Cloud,
create an account to evaluate how our products perform in
real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to
run, test, and deploy workloads.
In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page,
select or create a Google Cloud project.
Install and initialize Google Cloud CLI if it is not
already installed. For an existing installation, update components of
the Google Cloud CLI with the command:
gcloud components update.
To check your version of the gcloud CLI, run the command:
When you disable the Infra Manager API, any related resources will
continue to exist in the project. Once disabled, you cannot use the service
to make any changes to deployments and resources in the project.
If you enable the API again, you can continue to use the service in the same
way as when you first enabled the API.
