Software Prerequisites

TIBCO recommends deploying the Local Edition cluster from the Local Edition Installer container, which packages all the required CLI utilities to deploy on GCP. This includes:

GCP CLI: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/

Platform Prerequisites

To deploy on GCP, a service account JSON key file is required.

If you do not have a service account, you must create one. For more details see, Service accounts.

For information about creating and managing service account keys, see Creating managing service account keys.

The service account JSON key file is created when the service account is first created. This file is needed for the cluster deployment.

Downloading and Installing the Software

  1. Download and install OpenShift client and OpenShift install binaries for respective platforms as per your operating system.
  2. Save the OpenShift install secret from Openshift GCP PIP.
    Note: This is a JSON string and will be required to generate cluster install configuration.
  3. Openshift installation on GCP requires gcloud CLI version 348 (Google Cloud SDK 348.0.0) or later version. To know the gcloud version, run gcloud --version.
  4. To install or upgrade, see Install-Gcloud-CLI.

    You must have owner or editor access in the Google console portal to create service principal and to assign roles.
