Google Cloud CLI operations and resource management

Google Cloud CLI Skill

Installation

The skill invokes the gcloud CLI. Install and initialize:

  • Linux/macOS: curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash then restart shell and run gcloud init
  • Windows: Download Google Cloud SDK installer or use PowerShell to download and run

Verify: gcloud --version. Configure: gcloud init

Cheat Sheet & Best Practices

Config: gcloud config set project <id>; gcloud config list; gcloud config configurations create/activate <name> — switch projects.

Auth: gcloud auth login; use --impersonate-service-account for SA; --access-token-file for CI.

Hacks: Use --format="table(name,zone,status)" or --format=json + jq to cut output. Use --flags-file=file.yaml for long or repeated flags. Use named configurations for dev/staging/prod. Run gcloud components update periodically.

Certifications & Training

Free: Google Cloud Learn and Google Skills — Innovators Program (35 credits/month). Certs: Cloud Digital Leader, Cloud Engineer (associate), Cloud Architect/DevOps (professional). Skill data: Config, auth, compute/storage/IAM; no exposed service-account keys.

Hooks & Workflows

Suggested hooks: Pre-deploy: gcloud config get-value project. Use when devops is routed for GCP tasks (contextual: gcp_project).

Workflows: Use with devops (contextual: gcp_project). Flow: detect GCP → load gcloud-cli → run CLI via skill script.

Agent Integration

  • devops (primary): Cloud operations
  • gcp-cloud-agent (primary): GCP specific
  • cloud-integrator (secondary): Multi-cloud

Security

⚠️ Never expose service account keys ⚠️ Resource deletion requires confirmation
