Accessing the Google Cloud Console and Cloud Shell

Overview In this lab, you become familiar with the Google Cloud web-based interface. Two integrated environments are available: A GUI environment called the Cloud Console A command-line interface called Cloud Shell, which has the commands from the Cloud SDK pre-installed In this course, you use both environments. You need to know a few things about the Cloud Console: The Cloud Console is under continuous development, so the graphical layout occasionally changes. Often, these changes are made to accommodate new Google Cloud features or changes in the technology, resulting in a slightly different workflow. You can perform most common Google Cloud actions in the Cloud Console. Sometimes new features are implemented in the Cloud SDK before they are made available in the Cloud Console. The Cloud Console is extremely fast for some activities. The Cloud Console can perform multiple actions on your behalf that might require many command-line actions. The commands in the Cloud SDK are valuable tools for automation. Objectives In this lab, you learn how to perform the following tasks: - Learn how to access the Cloud Console and Cloud Shell - Become familiar with the Cloud Console - Become familiar with Cloud Shell features, including the Cloud Shell code editor - Use the Cloud Console and Cloud Shell to create buckets and VMs and service accounts - Perform other commands in Cloud Shell #gcp #googlecloud #qwiklabs
