Google Cloud Deployment Manager Guide

This guide provides an overview of using the Google Cloud Deployment Manager with the gcloud command-line tool.

Setting Your Project

Before you start using Deployment Manager, make sure you're working with the correct project:

gcloud config set project YOUR_PROJECT_ID

Replace YOUR_PROJECT_ID with your actual Google Cloud project ID.

Creating a New Deployment

To create a new deployment from your YAML or Python template file:

gcloud deployment-manager deployments create DEPLOYMENT_NAME --config CONFIG_FILE

• DEPLOYMENT_NAME is the name you want to give your deployment.
• CONFIG_FILE is the path to your configuration file.

Viewing Existing Deployments

To list all your current deployments:

gcloud deployment-manager deployments list

Getting Information About a Specific Deployment

To describe a specific deployment:

gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe DEPLOYMENT_NAME

Updating an Existing Deployment

When you need to update your resources:

gcloud deployment-manager deployments update DEPLOYMENT_NAME --config CONFIG_FILE

Use --preview to see what changes would occur without applying them.

Deleting a Deployment

To delete a deployment and all associated resources:

gcloud deployment-manager deployments delete DEPLOYMENT_NAME
