This repository contains some examples of using gcloud with shell scripts and python scripts and also using the Python Client Library APIs to perform some basic automation.
Refer to the following posts for more details:
- https://medium.com/google-cloud/using-gcloud-to-get-google-cloud-platform-data-you-need-c4985b416278
- https://medium.com/google-cloud/using-gcloud-and-python-client-library-with-google-compute-engine-eaf1b19d8099
The scripts work when tested using the Google cloud shell. This is not tested with SDK on the personal computer, but it should work. Check https://cloud.google.com/sdk/install if you want to try it out.
The examples here will probably not work in your environment as-is. For example, the label key and values used here should be changed as per your labeling strategy. My advice would be to read and understand the code first and then modify it to fit your environment.
Please feel free to try the code and add/suggest new functionality and approaches. Please leave a comment here or on the Medium post.

- Completeness - The scripts here are provided to serve as an example of using gcloud and the Python Client Library. They are in no way complete solutions in themselves.
- Coding best practices - In real-world deployment you should think about coding best practices, such as, error checking/handling, functionality to check and wait for actions to complete, log/print meaningful messages and so on
