Google Cloud CLI
The Google Cloud CLI is a command-line interface tool for managing Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resources and services. It allows developers to perform tasks like deploying applications, managing cloud storage, configuring networks, and automating workflows directly from a terminal or script. It provides a unified way to interact with GCP services, replacing the need for multiple separate tools.
Developers should learn the Google Cloud CLI when working with Google Cloud Platform to efficiently manage cloud infrastructure, automate deployments, and integrate with CI/CD pipelines. It is essential for tasks like provisioning resources (e.g., Compute Engine instances, Cloud Storage buckets), handling authentication, and scripting cloud operations, making it a key tool for DevOps and cloud-native development on GCP.
