Who can use this feature
Anyone with these permissions: Manage restore connections (Cloud workloads, SaaS applications)
This article explains how to connect GCP restore projects to Eon.
You’ll start this procedure in the Restore accounts > GCP projects page by clicking Connect Restore Account and selecting GCP.
Before you start
Before you connect your source account, make sure:
-
gcloud CLI is installed and can log in to the relevant GCP project under an identity that can manage IAM roles and service accounts.
-
You understand the permissions Eon needs to back up your resources. See GCP: Permissions Deployment Files for details.
Deploy
Choose whether you want to deploy with the CLI or with Terraform:
-
gcloud CLI: Run the provided command with gcloud CLI to install the roles.
-
Terraform: Use the provided Terraform module to install the roles.
Bash
Terraform
-
Select the gcloud CLI deployment method.
-
Paste your GCP Project ID. The command you’ll need to run is displayed, including your GCP project ID and Eon-provided project IDs.
-
Paste the provided command in a terminal and run. The command downloads and runs a script that installs the necessary roles using gcloud CLI. You can review the script before running it.
Wait for the script to complete before continuing.
