Connect GCP to PipeOps

Connecting your GCP account to PipeOps lets you provision GCP servers and deploy projects directly from your PipeOps dashboard. The connection requires a GCP service account JSON key file, which you can generate directly from within the connection flow.

Connect Your GCP Account​

Step 1: Open the Integrations Page​

In the left sidebar, click Integrations.

Step 3: Generate Your GCP Credentials​

The first screen in the drawer — Generate GCP Credentials — walks you through creating a service account and downloading your JSON key file. Follow the three steps shown:

  1. Open Google Cloud Console — Log in to the Google Cloud Console and create a new project or open an existing one.

  2. Run the Setup Command — Open Google Cloud Shell in your project, paste the command below, and run it to create a service account and generate the key.json file.

   curl -fsSL https://get.pipeops.dev/create_credentials | bash

Click Copy in the drawer to copy the command to your clipboard.

  1. Download & Upload the Key File — In Cloud Shell, click Download, enter the path ~/key.json, and download the file to your machine.
