This template creates an autoscaler.

• Install gcloud
• Create a GCP project, set up billing, enable requisite APIs
• Grant the compute.admin IAM role to the Deployment Manager service account

• compute.v1.autoscaler
• compute.v1.regionalAutoscaler

See the properties section in the schema file(s):

• Autoscaler

1. Clone the Deployment Manager samples repository

    git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-foundation-toolkit

2. Go to the dm directory

    cd dm

3. Copy the example DM config to be used as a model for the deployment, in this case examples/autoscaler_zonal.yaml

    cp templates/autoscaler/examples/autoscaler_zonal.yaml my_autoscaler.yaml

4. Change the values in the config file to match your specific GCP setup. Refer to the properties in the schema files described above.

    vim my_autoscaler.yaml  # <== change values to match your GCP setup

5. Create your deployment as described below, replacing <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME> with your with your own deployment name

    gcloud deployment-manager deployments create <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME> \
        --config my_autoscaler.yaml

6. In case you need to delete your deployment:

    gcloud deployment-manager deployments delete <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME>

• Zonal autoscaler
• Regional autoscaler
