Google Cloud
Connect your account
To use our CaaS on Google Cloud, you need to create a projet and provide rights to our CaaS. We will create infrastructure resources in that project. We don't need a global access to your account, only to one project (which is good for security). So, you can configure other services like a managed database in your Google Cloud account, we will not see them.
After the connection of your Google Cloud account, ScaleDynamics will create and manage resources in one of your project of your account. You should not modify, create, or delete these resources to avoid non deterministic behaviors of the ScaleDynamics platform. To interact with ScaleDynamics, please use only our SDK command lines or our console (http://console.scaledynamics.com).
To connect a Google Cloud account, you need to gather several information on your side: an email, a privateKey, and a projectID.
Connect to your Google Cloud console

Create a 'scaledynamics-caas' project and get projectID
Click on the top left dropdow
On the panel click on 'New project'.
On the panel, set project name to 'scaledynamics-caas', and click on 'Create' button. You can change attached organization and location according to your needs.
On the top right dropdow select 'scaledynamics-caas' project. Access the project dashboard and you will find on the project ID to use as the projectID
Create a service account for that project and get the email
