-: In the last section,
we created a new Google Cloud project.
After the project is successfully created
and you'll see a little notification for it up here
on the top right hand side, we need to make sure
that we select that new project as our active project.
So to do so,
I'll find the project drop down right here,
and then I'll find the multi K8s project
that I just created.
So I'll click on that and I'll very quickly see my dashboard
for the newly created project up here on the screen.
Any second now, there we go.
So at this point, double check
on your project name over here on the left hand side
and make sure it has the project name that you just entered.
All right, so now that we've created our project
we do have to enable billing for the project as well.
So in order to do all this Kubernetes stuff
you absolutely have to have a credit card associated
with your Google account.
In order to enable billing,
I'm gonna go up to the navigation menu
on the top left hand side
and I'll find the billing selection right here.
Now, once I go to billing,
I'll see that I have not set up billing
or linked it to this project.
Now, just so you know,
if you do not see this window right here
and if you instead see some like billing information
appear on the screen, that's totally fine.
It very likely means that you've already set up
a billing account in the past
and it automatically got linked to the project
that you just created.
So if you do not see this window, you're probably a okay,
and just fine to go, you can pause the video right here
and continue the next section.
Otherwise, we have to link a billing account.
So I'm gonna click on the blue button right here
and then I get prompted
because I already have a single billing account
set up to link my project to it.
So I'm gonna click set account right here.
But for you, you're going to see a wizard that will walk you
through the process of creating a new billing account.
It's going to eventually ask you to enter
in some payment details and give the billing account a name.
After you do that, you can then come back
to the billing page and link this billing account
to the project that we just created.
Okay, so eventually we should see a screen
like this right here.
Something that lists a billing account
like a billing account id, and it should list
your project as being linked to this billing account.
So now that we've set up billing successfully,
we're gonna take a pause right here
and continue in the next section
with some of the Kubernetes setup.
