Cloud Shell is a terminal Google runs in your browser, already signed in as you, with gcloud installed. The walkthrough opens the Applane setup repository in it and shows a step panel on the side.

Pick this when you want a one-off by hand and nothing installed on your machine.

Open it

Section titled “Open it”

Click the button. It clones the setup repository into your Cloud Shell and opens the tutorial panel.

Open in Cloud Shell

The link with the repository filled in is on the Applane console’s Setup page.

What the panel walks you through

Section titled “What the panel walks you through”

  1. Pick the project. A project picker with a billing check. An existing project is fine. Set it as active in the terminal:

    Terminal window
    gcloud config set project <GCP_PROJECT_ID>
    export GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=<GCP_PROJECT_ID>

  2. Enable the five APIs. A button in the panel, or let the script do it in the next step. Both enable the same five.

  3. Run the setup script. Preview first, then apply:

    Terminal window
    GROUP=applane-builders@<YOUR_DOMAIN>
    scripts/applane-setup.sh --dry-run --project $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT --group $GROUP
    scripts/applane-setup.sh --project $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT --group $GROUP

    With a budget alert:

    Terminal window
    gcloud billing projects describe $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT --format='value(billingAccountName)'
    scripts/applane-setup.sh --project $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT --group $GROUP \
      --budget-account <BILLING_ACCOUNT_ID> --budget-amount 50

  4. Consent screen and OAuth client. The panel opens APIs & Services for you. Follow OAuth consent screen and OAuth client.

  5. Check the result.

    Terminal window
    scripts/applane-setup.sh --check --project $GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT --group $GROUP

    Every line should read PASS. The two INFO lines (the per-user Apps Script API setting and the OAuth client) are verified by the setup checker in the Applane console instead.

What it creates

Section titled “What it creates”

The same three things as every option: the five APIs enabled, roles/aiplatform.user on the builders group, and a budget alert if you passed a billing account. See Script for the exact commands the script runs.

Remove it

Section titled “Remove it”

Cloud Shell keeps no state. To undo, follow the GCP part of Uninstall.
