C# Core Deploy on GCP with PowerShell

In this article, we will guide you through the process of deploying a C# Core application on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the PowerShell command line interface.

Prerequisites

• A Google Cloud Platform account
• A C# Core application
• PowerShell installed on your system
• GCP Command Line Interface (CLI) installed on your system

Step 1 - Create a GCP Project

First, create a GCP project for your C# Core application. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open the GCP Console
2. Select the project drop-down menu and click New Project
3. Enter a name for your project and click Create

Step 2 - Create a GCP Service Account

Next, you will need to create a GCP service account for the C# Core application. The service account will allow the application to access and manage resources on GCP.

1. Open the GCP Console
2. Select your project and navigate to IAM & Admin > Service accounts
3. Click Create Service Account and enter a name for the service account
4. Select Editor as the role for the service account and click Create
5. Download the service account key in JSON format

Step 3 - Configure GCP CLI

Before you can deploy your C# Core application on GCP, you need to configure the GCP CLI on your system.

1. Open PowerShell on your system

2. Run the following command to authenticate with GCP CLI:

   gcloud auth login
   

3. Run the following command to set the default project for the CLI:

   gcloud config set project <project-id>
   

4. Run the following command to set the default service account for the CLI:

   gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file "<path-to-service-account-json>"
   

Step 4 - Publish C# Core Application

Now, it's time to publish your C# Core application.

1. Open PowerShell on your system

2. Navigate to the directory of the C# Core application

3. Run the following command to publish the application:

   dotnet publish -c Release -r googlecloud -p:PublishSingleFile=true --self-contained true
   

   Note: Replace googlecloud with the name of the runtime identifier for GCP.

Step 5 - Deploy C# Core Application to GCP

Finally, it's time to deploy your C# Core application on GCP.

1. Open PowerShell on your system

2. Run the following command to deploy the application:

   gcloud app deploy .\bin\Release\netcoreapp3.1\publish\app.yaml
   

   Note: Replace netcoreapp3.1 with the version of .NET Core used in the application. Also, replace app.yaml with the name of the deployment configuration file.

Congratulations! You have successfully deployed your C# Core application on Google Cloud Platform using PowerShell.
