To get you started with managing configurations, this section will guide you through a simple example of how to use Monaco to create, deploy, and delete a configuration.

Prerequisites

  • Install Monaco and make the executable available in your PATH.

  • Create a platform token or OAuth client with the correct access permissions. The correct permissions depend on which APIs you use.

    For more info, see the API documentation or IAM policy reference.

In this example, we will make use of the SLO configuration, which requires the following permissions:

  • slo:slos:read
  • slo:slos:write
  • slo:objective-templates:read
