Create a notebook by using the Google Cloud console

Learn how to create a Colab Enterprise notebook and run its code on a default runtime by using the Google Cloud console. This page also describes how to rename, import, and delete a notebook.

Before you begin

  1. Sign in to your Google Cloud account. If you're new to Google Cloud, create an account to evaluate how our products perform in real-world scenarios. New customers also get $300 in free credits to run, test, and deploy workloads.

  2. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

    Roles required to select or create a project

    • Select a project: Selecting a project doesn't require a specific IAM role—you can select any project that you've been granted a role on.
    • Create a project: To create a project, you need the Project Creator role (roles/resourcemanager.projectCreator), which contains the resourcemanager.projects.create permission. Learn how to grant roles.

    Go to project selector

  3. Verify that billing is enabled for your Google Cloud project.

  4. Enable the Agent Platform, Dataform, and Compute Engine APIs.

    Roles required to enable APIs

    To enable APIs, you need the serviceusage.services.enable permission. If you created the project, then you likely already have this permission through the Owner role (roles/owner). Otherwise, you can get this permission through the Service Usage Admin role (roles/serviceusage.serviceUsageAdmin). Learn how to grant roles.

Required roles

To get the permissions that you need to create a Colab Enterprise notebook and run the notebook's code on a runtime, ask your administrator to grant you the Colab Enterprise User (roles/aiplatform.colabEnterpriseUser) IAM role on the project. For more information about granting roles, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

You might also be able to get the required permissions through custom roles or other predefined roles.

Create a notebook

To create a Colab Enterprise notebook by using the Google Cloud console:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Colab Enterprise My notebooks page.

    Go to My notebooks

  2. In the Region menu, select the region where you want to create your notebook.

  3. Click  New notebook.

    Colab Enterprise creates and opens your notebook.

When you finish the tasks that are described in this document, you can avoid continued billing by deleting the resources that you created. For more information, see Clean up.

Run code in the default runtime

To run a Colab Enterprise notebook's code on the default runtime, do the following:

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Colab Enterprise My notebooks page.

    Go to My notebooks
