Go to the Google Cloud Platform Console, sign up and create a new project.
On your host, download and install the gcloud SDK following this documentation (here for linux).
Once done, add additional dependencies that wil be used in the Kubernetes Engine section :
gcloud components install kubectl
Another alternative, that will be used in the Cloud Machine Learning section, is to use Google Cloud Shell, a shell environment with all required dependencies already installed for managing resources hosted on Google Cloud Platform.
Google API client applications running outside of Google Cloud Platform, for example the Terraform Google Cloud Provider, can reference API keys to authenticate against Google Cloud APIs.
API keys are generated from the API console at https://console.developers.google.com/.
In the left-hand side menu, select Credentials :
Select Create Credentials and Service Account Key :
Click on Create to download a JSON file containing API keys :
