Google Cloud SDK Login

Google Cloud SDK is a set of tools that allows you to manage resources and deploy applications on the Google Cloud Platform. Before you can use the SDK, you need to log in to your Google account.

Installation

To use Google Cloud SDK, you need to download and install it. The installation process depends on the operating system you are using. The following commands install the SDK on Ubuntu:

$ export CLOUD_SDK_REPO="cloud-sdk-$(lsb_release -c -s)"
$ echo "deb http://packages.cloud.google.com/apt $CLOUD_SDK_REPO main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-cloud-sdk.list
$ curl https://packages.cloud.google.com/apt/doc/apt-key.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install google-cloud-sdk

Logging In

After you have installed Google Cloud SDK, you need to log in to your Google account. This allows the SDK to access resources on the Google Cloud Platform.

Run the following command to start the login process:

$ gcloud auth login

This command will open a browser window and prompt you to log in to your Google account. Once you have logged in, the SDK will obtain an access token for your account.

Configuring Default Project

After you have logged in to your Google account, you can configure your default project. The default project is used when you create new resources or deploy applications using the SDK.

To configure your default project, run the following command:

$ gcloud config set project PROJECT_ID

Replace PROJECT_ID with the ID of the project you want to set as the default.

Conclusion

Google Cloud SDK is a powerful tool for managing resources and deploying applications on the Google Cloud Platform. By logging in to your Google account and configuring your default project, you can start using the SDK to build and deploy your applications on the cloud.
