• This solution is deployed using Terraform which is available in the Google Cloud Shell, which is also the preferred way to deploy the solution for testing and demo purposes
• While some Terraform knowledge is useful, it is not necessary
• This solution requires a dedicated GCP project

1. Use the Open in Cloud Shell button above to clone the git repository (recommended) or manually clone the repository
2. Setup a Service Account for Terraform and make sure your user can impersonate the service account
3. Create a dedicated GCP Project for this solution
4. In the newly created GCP Project in IAM grant roles/owner to the Terraform Service Account

Create a Terraform variable file and define all necessary variables. This will setup the solution specific to your needs.

1. Copy the terraform.tfvars file from the examples folder to the base folder of your solution e.g. using cp examples/terraform.tfvars .
2. Edit the terraform.tfvars file and adapt to your needs. Check the variables.tf file for the definition and further information on available variables

1. Initialize Terraform with terraform init
2. Apply Terraform Configuration with terraform apply

The solution expects that files are uploaded to the upload GCS Bucket.

Once a document is uploaded, a Google Cloud Workflow will be triggered to process the document.

If terraform takes a long time, you can try speeding it up by adding the parameter --parallelism to terraform apply (default is 10) e.g.

terraform apply --parallelism=20

If you use a GCS backend bucket for terraform and get an error during terraform init it may be due to the Application Default Credentials not being set to the right project. Replace <your-project> and run:

gcloud auth application-default login --project <your-project>
