In this tutorial, we use the Google Cloud Platform to provision the compute infrastructure. You can sign up for $300 in free credits, which will be more than sufficient to complete all of the labs in this tutorial.
Follow the Google Cloud SDK documentation to install and configure the gcloud command line utility for your platform.
Verify the Google Cloud SDK version is 183.0.0 or higher:
$ gcloud versionThis tutorial assumes Application Default Credentials (ADC) were set to authenticate to Google Cloud Platform API.
Use the following gcloud command to acquire new user credentials to use for ADC.
$ gcloud auth application-default loginThis tutorial assumes a default compute region and zone have been configured.
Set a default compute region:
$ gcloud config set compute/region europe-west1Set a default compute zone:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-bVerify the configuration settings:
$ gcloud config listNext: Manual operations
