Configure your Terraform Kubernetes app's deployment

You offer Terraform Kubernetes apps through Google Cloud Marketplace as Helm charts, which customers use to deploy your apps. After you've uploaded your app's Helm chart to Artifact Registry, use Producer Portal to configure your app's deployment and submit it for review.

Before you begin

• Create a public Git repository for the configuration files, user guide, and other resources to run your app. You can host the repository with a provider such as GitHub, Cloud Source Repositories, or on your own server. We recommend a dedicated repository for each product that you're distributing.
• Verify that you've prepared your Terraform Kubernetes app for Cloud Marketplace, including uploading your app's Helm chart to Artifact Registry and Terraform module to Cloud Storage.

Configure your app's Helm chart and container images

Specify your app's Helm chart and container images in Producer Portal.

For steps to upload a Helm chart to Artifact Registry, see Prepare your Terraform Kubernetes app.

Specify your app's Helm chart

To specify your app's Helm chart, complete the following steps:

1. In Artifact Registry, navigate to the Helm chart that you want to use.
2. Click to copy your Helm chart's URL.
3. In Producer Portal, in the Deployment configuration tab, for Specify Helm chart, paste your Helm chart's URL.

The format of your Helm chart's URL should be as follows:

us-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_NAME/PRODUCT_NAME/CHART_NAME

Specify your app's releases

You can offer multiple releases, or versions, of your app through Cloud Marketplace, and let your users select between the available releases. To specify your app's releases, complete the following steps:

1. In Producer Portal, in the Deployment configuration tab, under Image release, click Specify releases.
2. Under New release, add the following information:
   • A display tag, which should match the tag of the corresponding Helm chart that you uploaded to Artifact Registry.
   • A version title, which Cloud Marketplace shows to your users.
   • A short description, which explains how this release differs from other available releases.
3. For Module, specify the Cloud Storage location of the corresponding Terraform module for this release.
4. For each additional release that you want to add, click Add release and then complete the previous steps.
5. For Default release, select which release should be the default release for your app's Cloud Marketplace listing.
6. Click Save and validate.

After you click Save and validate, Cloud Marketplace automatically runs validation tests on your releases. Under Proposed releases, you see a brief description of the progress of the validation tests, including an estimate of how long they might take to complete. Validation involves testing to ensure that the provided Terraform module successfully runs terraform plan.

Your releases must pass validation before you can publish them to Cloud Marketplace.
