Following https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/gcp/how-to-guides/gcp-ts-cloudrun/ I had to manually: 1. create the GCP project 2. enable the Google Container Registry API 3. enable the Cloud Run Admin API in order

pulumi up

succeeds. Is there no way to automate any of those 3 extra steps ?

No? That’s a quirk of Google cloud

There is a way to automate enabling the APIs, assuming your account has permissions. Have a look at the GCP version of our Pulumi Challenge here: https://www.pulumi.com/challenge/startup-in-a-box/ Scroll down to step 6 and look in the section where it says “Your

pulumi-challenge/index.ts

should not look like this” and you’ll see an example of enabling the APIs. Side note: you’ll need to use the

disableOnDestroy: false

setting to enable

pulumi destroy

to work as expected. (There’s an issue disabling the APIs.)
