00:00In this video, we will see how we can install and configure a command line interface, mainly

00:08a cloud SDK and one built-in stuff available inside the Google Cloud console, a cloud shell.

00:16So what is here the cloud SDK and cloud shell mean?

00:20So it is a command line utility through which you can interact with the different GCP resources.

00:26So far, we have interacted with just Google Cloud console.

00:31So that is something like a complete full-fledged web application.

00:35So by just looking at this interface, you will be able to see all those services are

00:41available, every services you can manage it from here, you can provision it here.

00:46But suppose you want to manage all those things from the command line interface.

00:52So for that, there is one utility, the command line tools are available like a cloud SDK

00:59and which is available for all three major operating systems, Windows, Linux and a Mac.

01:05So through this cloud SDK, once you install in your local machine, from your local machine,

01:11you can just directly interact with different GCP resources.

01:17And if you don't want to install this cloud SDK, there is one easy way to interact with

01:21this Google Cloud resources is a cloud shell.

01:26So through this shell, you just do not need to install anything, but directly from the

01:31browser.

01:32Let me show you once.

01:35Let's say I am inside the Google Cloud console.

01:38On the top panel bar, you will be able to see there is one icon like an activate cloud

01:43shell.

01:44So let me just click upon it.

01:46And on the bottom, there will be one shell got created.

01:49Now this is something a full-fledged Linux machine.

01:53So here you can do everything and all those required utility by default get installed.

01:59So you do not need to worry about installation of anything, although I am not giving any

02:04further details about what exactly cloud shells are and cloud SDKs are.

02:09So for that, specifically for cloud shell, couple of videos and few videos about the

02:15cloud SDK I have created.

02:17So what we'll do in the next few videos, we'll talk about what is this cloud shell, how to

02:24interact with this cloud shell and how from cloud shell you can manage all those GCP resources

02:32and with exact same set of commands, how you can interact from your cloud shell or a cloud

02:38SDK to the different GCP resources.

02:41Now don't mind, maybe in the cloud shell video or a cloud SDK video, I may use some

02:47different GCP account.

02:48I have a couple of projects I have already created.

02:52So instead of this project, I might have used some other projects, but your concept or learning

02:59always remains same, independent of which projects on which we will do all those learning.

03:05Alright, so I am very much excited that apart from this Google Cloud console, there are

03:11two other ways like a Google Cloud SDK and Google Cloud Shell through which also you

03:17can manage all your GCP resources.

03:20Alright, see you in the next video.
