About Google Cloud CLI
The Google Cloud CLI provides the gcloud command, used to create and manage Google Cloud resources and applications from a terminal. Common tasks that would otherwise go through the web console can be run directly on the command line.
Because everything is a command, the same operations can be scripted and automated, which suits deployment scripts and repeatable setups. It is meant for developers and administrators who already work with a Google Cloud project.
