gcloud is a command-line interface to Google Cloud Platform. it is part of Google Cloud SDK.
Below are some basic usage.
1.) Getting help on commands.
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$
sudo gcloud --help
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$
sudo gcloud compute --help
2.) To Know the versions.
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$ sudo gcloud version
Google Cloud SDK 206.0.0
bq 2.0.34
core 2018.06.18
gsutil 4.32
kubectl
3.) To understand the Cloud SDK properties of active configuration.
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$ sudo gcloud config list
[compute]
region = us-east1
zone = asia-east1-a
[core]
account = xxxxxxxx@gmail.com
disable_usage_reporting = False
project = techproj-208207
Your active configuration is: [default]
4.) To know installed components.
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$
sudo gcloud components list
Your current Cloud SDK version is: 206.0.0
The latest available version is: 210.0.0
4a.)To install or remove components at your current SDK version [206.0.0], run:
$ gcloud components install COMPONENT_ID
$ gcloud components remove COMPONENT_ID
4b.)To update your SDK installation to the latest version [210.0.0], run:
$ gcloud components update
5.) To get the info of current gcloud environment.
VirtualBox:~/mybox/kubernetes/server/bin$ sudo gcloud info
