# Understanding the Prerequisites for a Google Cloud Deployment

To deploy ArcSight capabilities on Google Cloud, the user must have:

- An active Google Cloud subscription. Check the Create a Google Cloud project section here to either create a new project, or choose an existing one.

  For an existing project, information such as Project name, Project ID, and Project number can be accessed by navigating to GCP Console Home > Dashboard > Project info.

- A properly configured user account to perform the installation with. Check the Ensure that you have the required roles and Grant an IAM role sections here to see the current roles or assign new ones to the user. List of permissions, or JSON with permissions?

- The Google Cloud Command Line Interface (CLI). For installation instructions of the CLI, see Install the gcloud CLI.

  Note: Any Google Cloud command can be run from the Google Cloud shell unless specified otherwise

- Set up Google Cloud storage. For information about Google Cloud buckets and their configuration see Setting Up Google Cloud Storage.

- Optional - Set up bucket encryption. Google Cloud comes with server-side encryption already set, but you can utilize a customized encryption option as well, as explained here.

- Have your Google Cloud worksheet ready to take down the configuration information (add link to worksheet)
