title: Setting up the Google Compute Engine Cloud Provider
weight: 3
---
In this section, you'll learn how to enable the Google Compute Engine (GCE) cloud provider for provisioning custom clusters in Rancher. A custom cluster is one in which Rancher installs Kubernetes on existing nodes.
These steps are required for provisioning GCE Kubernetes clusters that include Windows nodes.
The official Kubernetes documentation for the GCE cloud provider is [here.](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/cluster-administration/cloud-providers/#gce)
> **Prerequisites:** The service account of `Identity and API` access on GCE needs the `Computer Admin` permission.
If you are using Calico,
1. Go to the cluster view in the Rancher UI, and click **⋮ > Edit.**
1. Click **Edit as YAML,** and enter the following configuration:
```yaml
rancher_kubernetes_engine_config:
cloud_provider:
name: gce
customCloudProvider: |-
[Global]
project-id=<your projcet ID, optional>
network-name=<your network, optional if using default network>
subnetwork-name=<your subnetwork of the above network, optional if using default network>
node-instance-prefix=<your instance group name/your instance name specific prefix, required>
node-tags=<your network tags, must patch one or some tags, required>
network:
options:
calico_cloud_provider: "gce"
plugin: "calico"
```
If you are using Canal or Flannel,
1. Go to the cluster view in the Rancher UI, and click **&#8942; > Edit.**
1. Click **Edit as YAML,** and enter the following configuration:
```yaml
rancher_kubernetes_engine_config:

network-name=<your network, optional if using default network>
subnetwork-name=<your subnetwork of the above network, optional if using default network>
node-instance-prefix=<your instance group name/your instance name specific prefix, required>
node-tags=<your network tags, must patch one or some tags, required>
services:
kube_controller:
extra_args:
configure-cloud-routes: true # we need to allow
# the cloud provider to configure the routes for the hosts
```

If you are using the GCE (Google Compute Engine) cloud provider, you must do the following:
- Specify `gce` as the cloud provider in the `cluster.yml`
- Enable the GCE cloud provider in the `cluster.yml` by following [these steps.]({{<baseurl>}}/rancher/v2.x/en/cluster-provisioning/rke-clusters/cloud-providers/gce)
- When provisioning the cluster in Rancher, choose **Custom cloud provider** as the cloud provider in the Rancher UI.
