Set up a project

Before you perform operations in Telecom Network Automation, you must set up a Google Cloud project. To set up a project, complete the following steps.

Before you begin

Before continuing, ensure you have the following:

The latest version of the gcloud command line interface (CLI) tool. Do either of the following:
- For full installation instructions, see Install the gcloud CLI.
- Update your existing version using the following command:
```
gcloud components update
```
Confirm you have version 1.25.8 of the kubectl CLI.

Note: Ensure you don't have the default kubectl version 1.26 or greater, as this version might not work with GDC Edge clusters.
Have one or more GDC Edge racks at target locations.
- The software must run version 1.5.0. For more information, see Installation requirements.

Set up your Google Cloud project

Before you provision Telecom Network Automation, you must set up a Google Cloud project:

Set your default project:
```
gcloud config set project PROJECT_NAME
```
Replace PROJECT_NAME with a name for your project.
In the default project, start the GKE compute endpoints:
```
gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com
```

Assign the environment variables:

export PROJECT_ID=$(gcloud config get-value project)
export PROJECT_NUM=$(gcloud projects describe $PROJECT_ID
--format="value(projectNumber)")
export LOCATION=ZONE
# create a /workdir to clone all repositories
mkdir ~/workdir
cd ~/workdir

Replace ZONE with the zone closest to your location, such as us-central1-a.

Assign IAM roles to users in your organization to grant permission to your Google Cloud project:
```
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID
--member='user:EMAIL' --role='ROLE'
```
Replace the following:
- EMAIL: the email of the user to bind the role to.
- ROLE: the name of the role. For example, roles/owner. For a full list of Telecom Network Automation roles, see Architecture and permissions.
Enable Telecom Network Automation endpoints in the project:
```
gcloud services enable telcoautomation.googleapis.com
```
Set the default gcloud timeout:
```
gcloud config set http_timeout 3600
```

Resolve Telecom Network Automation deployments by granting the Logs Viewer role to the limited-access Telecom Network Automation monitoring group:

gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding $PROJECT_ID
--member=group:cloud-gmec-tna-monitoring-team@twosync.google.com --role=roles/logging.viewer
