Overview of this book

On-premise data centers are costly to manage. If you need a data center but don’t want to deal with a physical one, Google Cloud Platform (GCP) is the solution. With GCP, you can build, test, and deploy applications on Google’s infrastructure. Google Cloud Platform Administration begins with GCP fundamentals, with the help of which you will deploy your first app and gain an understanding of Google Cloud architecture and services. Furthermore, you will learn how to manage Compute, networking, and storage resources. As you make your way through the book, you will learn how to track and manage GCP’s usage, monitoring, and billing access control. You will also be able to manage your GCP's access and permissions. In the concluding chapters, you will explore a list of different developer tools for managing and interacting with the GCP platform. By the end of this book, you will have learned how to effectively deploy workloads on GCP.

Cloud shell

Cloud shell is an interactive shell environment that allows you to manage your GCP resources programmatically, without having to install the Google Cloud SDK. Cloud shell comes readily configured with the gcloud command so you can easily manage your GCP resources. When you click on the cloud shell icon, GCP will deploy a temporary compute engine, g1-small virtual machine, with 5 GB of persistent disk storage. You will also see a command-line access to that instance pop up in the web browser.

These cloud shell virtual machine instances are provisioned per user and on a per-session basis. This instance terminates after one hour of inactivity or when you exit your session. The persistent disk, mounted as a $HOME directory, remains even after the cloud shell instance is destroyed. This $HOME directory is private to you.

Once this instance is fully deployed and initialized...
