A Google Cloud Project ID is automatically created when you create a new Google Cloud project. Here's how to create a new Google Cloud project, which in turn generates a Project ID:
-
Create a new Google Cloud project: Go to the [Cloud Console](Create new project).
-
Fill in the required information on the New Project page:
- Project name: Accept the default name or enter a customized name. Remember, you can change the project name at any time. See [Identifying projects](Create new project) for more information. The project name is different than the project ID. The Project ID is auto-generated.
-
Select Create: Clicking "Create" initiates the project creation process, and a unique Project ID is automatically assigned.
Key takeaways:
- The Project ID is automatically generated by Google Cloud when you create a new project. You don't manually create it.
- While you can customize the Project Name, the Project ID is unique and assigned by Google.
