Install the Google Cloud SDK

You can use Google Cloud software development kit (SDK) to manage Google Cloud resources and services from your command line by using Google Cloud command line interface (CLI).

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. Use the gcloud CLI utility to manage project and instances.
  2. Create a project: 
    # gcloud projects create <example_google_cloud_project_id> --name <example_google_cloud_project>

    The example creates a project with the project ID <example_google_cloud_project_id> and the project name <example_google_cloud_project>.

  3. Display project information: 
    # gcloud projects describe <example_google_cloud_project_id>

Results

  • Verify that the gcloud CLI is properly configured: 
    # gcloud info

    The command displays configuration information including your account, project settings, and SDK version.
