Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the basics of GCP. We discussed resources and their scopes and hierarchies. We set up our first account, created permissions for other users to access it, and configured billing. We also learned how to export billing information. Finally, we learned how to set up alerts and budgets to control the cost of GCP usage.
In the next chapter, we will take a look at GCP's core services, and, in the chapters that follow, we will continue to deep dive into each of them.
