1	# Onboarding to Google Cloud
2
3	This skill provides a streamlined "happy path" for a singleton developer to get
4	started with [Google Cloud](https://cloud.google.com/). It covers everything
5	from initial account setup to deploying your first cloud resource.
6
7	## Overview
8
9	For an individual developer, onboarding to Google Cloud involves establishing a
10	personal identity, setting up a billing method, and creating a workspace
11	([Project](https://docs.cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/cloud-platform-resource-hierarchy#projects))
12	where resources can be managed. Google Cloud offers a Free Tier and Free Trial
13	for multiple products. [Learn more
14	here](https://docs.cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features).
15
16	## Clarifying Questions
17
18	Before proceeding, the agent should clarify the user's current status:
19
20	1. Do you already have a [Google Account](https://accounts.google.com/) (Gmail
21	or [Google Workspace](https://workspace.google.com/))?
22	2. Are you looking to set up a personal account for learning/experimentation,
23	or are you part of an organization with existing infrastructure?
24	3. Are you an IT admin within a larger enterprise, setting up Google Cloud for
25	your organization?
26	4. What is the first type of resource or application you are interested in
27	building (e.g., a website, a data pipeline, a virtual machine)?
28	5. Do you prefer to use the command line (CLI), an IDE (e.g. VSCode,
29	Antigravity), or do you prefer using the web-based [Google Cloud
30	console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)?
31
32	## Prerequisites
33
34	- A [Google Account](https://accounts.google.com/) (e.g., @gmail.com).
35	- A valid payment method (credit card or bank account) for billing
36	verification (even for the free trial).
37
38	## Steps
39
40	### 1. Sign Up and Activate Free Credit
41
42	1. Go to the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/).
43	2. Sign in with your Google Account. This will "Activate" [your $300 free
44	credit](https://docs.cloud.google.com/free/docs/free-cloud-features#free-trial).
45
46	### 2. Create Your First Google Cloud Project
47
48	Google Cloud resources are organized into
49	[Projects](https://docs.cloud.google.com/resource-manager/docs/cloud-platform-resource-hierarchy#projects).
50
51	1. In the Google Cloud console, click the project picker dropdown at the top of
52	the page.
53	2. Click New Project.
54	3. Enter a Project Name (e.g., `my-first-gcp-project`).
55	4. Note the generated Project ID; you will use this for CLI and API
56	interactions.
57	5. Click Create.
58
59	### 3. Set Up Billing
60
61	Ensure your project is linked to your Free Trial [Cloud
62	Billing](https://docs.cloud.google.com/billing/docs/how-to/manage-billing-account)
63	account.
64
65	1. Go to the Billing section in the console.
66	2. Confirm that your new project is listed under "Projects linked to this
67	billing account."
68
69	### 4. Install and Initialize the Google Cloud CLI
70
71	The [Google Cloud CLI](https://docs.cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install-sdk)
72	(`gcloud` CLI) is the primary tool for interacting with Google Cloud from your
73	local machine.
74
75	1. [Download and install the Google Cloud
76	CLI](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install).
77	2. Open your terminal and run: `gcloud init`
78	3. Follow the prompts to log in and select your project.
79
80	### 5. Enable Necessary APIs
81
82	Most services require their specific
83	[API](https://docs.cloud.google.com/apis/docs/overview) to be enabled before
84	use. For example, to use [Cloud
85	Run](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs/overview/what-is-cloud-run), run:
86	`gcloud services enable run.googleapis.com`
87
88	Note that [some Google Cloud APIs, including Cloud Logging, are enabled by
89	default](https://docs.cloud.google.com/service-usage/docs/enabled-service#default).
90
91	### 6. Deploy Your First Resource
92
93	Choose a simple entry point based on your needs:
94	- [Cloud Run](https://docs.cloud.google.com/run/docs) (Recommended for Apps):
95	Deploy a containerized "Hello World" app.
96	- [Compute Engine](https://docs.cloud.google.com/compute/docs): Create a
97	small Linux VM (e.g., `e2-micro` which is part of the Always Free tier in
98	certain regions).
99	- [Cloud Storage](https://docs.cloud.google.com/storage/docs): Create a
100	bucket to store files.
101
102	Example (Cloud Run):
103
104	```bash
105	gcloud run deploy hello-world \
106	--image=gcr.io/cloudrun/hello \ --platform=managed \ --region=us-central1 \
107	--allow-unauthenticated --quiet
108	```
109
110	This command will output a public URL, that you can reach in a web browser.
111	Congrats - you just deployed your first Google Cloud resource!
112
113	### 7. Next Steps
114
115	- Explore the [Google Cloud Free Program](https://cloud.google.com/free) to
116	see what else you can do with your free credit.
117	- Read the [Google Cloud Overview](https://cloud.google.com/docs/overview)
118	- See the [full list of 150+ Goo
