Onboarding to Google Cloud
This skill provides a streamlined "happy path" for a singleton developer to get
started with Google Cloud. It covers everything
from initial account setup to deploying your first cloud resource.
Overview
For an individual developer, onboarding to Google Cloud involves establishing a
personal identity, setting up a billing method, and creating a workspace
(Project)
where resources can be managed. Google Cloud offers a Free Tier and Free Trial
for multiple products. Learn more

Clarifying Questions
Before proceeding, the agent should clarify the user's current status:
- Do you already have a Google Account (Gmail
or Google Workspace)?
- Are you looking to set up a personal account for learning/experimentation,
or are you part of an organization with existing infrastructure?
- Are you an IT admin within a larger enterprise, setting up Google Cloud for
your organization?
- What is the first type of resource or application you are interested in
building (e.g., a website, a data pipeline, a virtual machine)?
- Do you prefer to use the command line (CLI), an IDE (e.g. VSCode,
Antigravity), or do you prefer using the web-based Google Cloud
console?
