Google Cloud Deployment Manager Cheat Sheet

• Google Cloud Deployment Manager is an infrastructure deployment service that automates the creation and management of Google Cloud resources.

Features

• You can write template and configuration files and utilize them to create deployments that have a variety of Google Cloud services working together, such as:
  • Cloud Storage
  • Compute Engine
  • Cloud SQL
• A configuration defines the structure of your deployment. You must specify a configuration on a YAML file to create a deployment. It contains the following:
  • type and properties of the resources that are part of the deployment
  • any templates the configuration should use
  • additional subfiles that can be executed to create your final configuration.
• It is recommended that you break your configuration into templates to simplify your deployment and make it easier to replicate and troubleshoot. A template is a separate file that defines a set of resources. You can reuse templates across different deployments, to help you manage complex deployments consistently.

• Creating a deployment creates the resources that you defined in a configuration.
