Google Cloud SDK

What do you like best?

Using Gcloud SDK Rather than using standard GUI for doing various tasks on GCP, saves lot of time. We get flexibility of automation and power of bash at one place. Using SDK can give us more options and being very specific on what we wanted to apply.

What do you dislike?

The SDk package is not compatable with all the google products. a small mistake in our commands can commit serious outcome which is not at all desirable and would make the company run into unexpected costs. but if you have a budget limit, it can save you from unexpected costs.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are an IT admin or someone with similar responsibilites, SDK helps you the most in doing your automation tasks easy. The flexibility and the ability to develop scripts for repetitive tasks is very advantageous. Using SDK can save a lot of time than using GUI. But not all products are compatable with SDK, so please check google documentation to check if the product you are looking for is supported or not.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

We do lot of things which are repetetive and that we have to do everyday. instead of doing it manually, using the GUI, we adopted the SDK method through which we can save lot of time and in addition we get power of bash to implement things better according to the situation
