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 version
This 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 login
This tutorial assumes a default compute region and zone have been configured.
Set a default compute region:
$ gcloud config set compute/region europe-west1
Set a default compute zone:
$ gcloud config set compute/zone europe-west1-b
Verify the configuration settings:
$ gcloud config list
