Deploy on Google Cloud Engine

​

GCP

We provide a Terraform module to deploy Agenta on GCP. You can find it here. The terraform module will in the in us-central1 region create;

• An e2-medium Compute instance
• VPC Network
• Firewall configured to allow ports 22 (ssh), 80 (http), and 443 (https)

You can customize the module according to your needs.

​

Prerequisites

1. Install Terraform: First, install Terraform.

2. Setup Project; In the Google cloud Console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project, then copy and save the Project ID for later.

3. Confirm Billing; Make sure that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

4. Create a Service account; Click here to Create a Service account and specify the compute admin role.

   

5. Get Service account key; Click here to obtain the keys for the service account you created.

6. Enable Google Compute Engine API: Navigate to Compute Engine API and make sure to select the correct project at the top, then enable Compute Engine API.

7. Copy the content of the downloaded key file and replace the content of credentials.json with it.

8. Initialize and Apply Terraform: Navigate to the correct directory and run:

   cd self-host/gcp
   terraform init
   terraform apply
   

​

SSH into the instance:

In order to ssh into the instance you need to:

1. Uncomment these lines in the Terraform instance file

metadata = {
 ssh-keys = "YOUR_USERNAME:${file("~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub")}"
}

2. Create an SSH key pair.

3. Add the SSH Key to the VM Metadata

4. Rerun

   terraform apply.
   

Remember that while allowing SSH access from any source (0.0.0.0/0) is convenient for testing, it’s not recommended for production environments due to security concerns. In production, you would restrict SSH access to specific trusted IP addresses.

​

Removing All Resources:

To delete all the resources created by Terraform, simply run

cd self-host/gcp
terraform destroy
