High Level Steps to use toolkit with CLI

Login to the CD3 Container.
Check out CD3 Workflows document for workflows supported by the toolkit and choose the required workflow.
Use GCP excel template from Excel Templates based on your requirement.
Review setUpGCP.properties file: /cd3user/gcp/<prefix>/<prefix>_setUpGCP.properties.

setUpGCP.properties

[Default]

#Input variables required to run setUpGCP script

#path to output directory where terraform file will be generated. eg /cd3user/gcp/<prefix>/terraform_files
outdir=

#prefix for output terraform files eg demo
prefix=

# Auth Params
auth_mechanism=

#input credentials file for service account eg /cd3user/gcp/<prefix>/gcp_api_private.json
config_file=

#path to cd3 excel eg /cd3user/gcp/<prefix>\CD3-Customer.xlsx

Copy CD3 Excel File

While using the container launched using RM Stack, local path /cd3user/mount_path on the VM is mapped to /cd3user/ inside the container. So the Excel template can be copied at /cd3user/mount_path/gcp/<prefix>/ on the VM. Below is the sample command to copy the Excel template from local system to container:
```
scp -i <private key pushed to VM while creating stack> <path to excel file on local> cd3user@<Public/Private IP of the VM>:/cd3user/mount_path/gcp/<prefix>
```
Note that the user cd3user can be used to connect to the VM because same key is pushed for opc as well as cd3user.
