Project infrastructure modules in GCP:

  • Google Cloud Storage (GCS): Data Lake
  • BigQuery: Data Warehouse

(Concepts explained in Week 2 - Data Ingestion)

Initial Setup

For this course, we'll use a free version (upto EUR 300 credits).

  1. Create an account with your Google email ID
  2. Setup your first project if you haven't already
    • eg. "DTC DE Course", and note down the "Project ID" (we'll use this later when deploying infra with TF)
  3. Setup service account & authentication for this project
    • Grant Viewer role to begin with.
    • Download service-account-keys (.json) for auth.
  4. Download SDK for local setup
  5. Set environment variable to point to your downloaded GCP keys: 
    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<path/to/your/service-account-authkeys>.json"

# Refresh token/session, and verify authentication
gcloud auth application-default login

Setup for Access

  1. IAM Roles for Service account:

    • Go to the IAM section of IAM & Admin https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/iam
    • Click the Edit principal icon for your service account.
    • Add these roles in addition to Viewer : Storage Admin + Storage Object Admin + BigQuery Admin

  2. Enable these APIs for your project:

  3. Please ensure GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS env-var is set.

    export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS="<path/to/your/service-account-authkeys>.json"
