Deployment Guide for GCP

Get ready to launch Hyperglance into your GCP Project!

1. Prerequisites - Before you start

We know you're excited to get going but it pays to be prepared, make sure you the have following things ready:

1. Choose or create a suitable Network and Subnetwork that will host Hyperglance. See section "1.1 Creating a suitable network environment" below.
2. Set up Cost Exports - This is how Hyperglance ingests your billing data.

1.1 Creating a suitable network environment

When deploying Hyperglance you will be prompted for a Network, Subnetwork and option to attach an external IP.

To operate correctly the Hyperglance Instance needs to be launched into a networking environment that allows the following types of access:

• Outbound access to the GCP APIs (and/or AWS, Azure, or K8s APIs if you wish to connect up to these cloud providers too).  Typically this requires outbound access to the Internet which means the VM will need a public IP or be placed behind Cloud NAT.

• Inbound access:
  • Users need HTTPS inbound access to reach the Hyperglance web interface.  This usually requires a public IP or placing the instance behind a public LoadBalancer unless users have  way connect into the local network using VPN or bastion host.
  • Admins may also want SSH access

2. Deploy the Terraform

At the current time our Terraform is hosted only on the GCP Marketplace.
