Before You Start #

This guide assumes that:

• You have already tried Pachyderm locally and have some familiarity with Kubectl, Helm, Google Cloud SDK and jq.
• You have access to a Google Cloud account linked to an active billing account.

⚠️

This is not a production-level setup guide; see the Google Cloud Platform deploy guide for in-depth setup.

1. Create a New Project #

1. Log in to Google Cloud Console.
2. Create a new project (e.g.,pachyderm-quickstart-project).
3. Enable the Compute Engine API.

You are now ready to create a GKE Cluster.

2. Run Setup Script #

You can run this setup script either through the Cloud Shell or in a local terminal via the gcloud cli. Running this script creates all of the following:

• One GKE cluster
• Workload identity service accounts
• Permissions
• A static IP address
• The cloud SQL instance and databases
• One cloud storage bucket
• One file called ${NAME}.values.yaml in the current directory

It also installs Pachyderm into the cluster.

3. Connect to Cluster #

1. Run the following:

pachctl config import-kube local --overwrite
pachctl config set active-context local
pachctl port-forward

2. Open your browser at localhost:4000.

💡

You can also connect to Console via Google’s Cloud Shell:
