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.
