This template creates a forwarding rule.

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

• compute.v1.globalForwardingRule
• compute.v1.forwardingRule

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

• Forwarding Rule

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/forwarding_rule_global.yaml:

    cp templates/forwarding_rule/examples/forwarding_rule_global.yaml \
       my_forwarding_rule.yaml

4. Change the values in the config file to match your specific GCP setup (for properties, refer to the schema files listed above):

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

5. Create your deployment (replace <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME> with the relevant deployment name):

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

6. In case you need to delete your deployment:

    gcloud deployment-manager deployments delete <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME>
