Getting started with GCP
OK, let’s get started by taking our first steps and trying out GCP.
Chances are you already registered or created a project in GCP before reading this book. But in case you haven’t, the following steps are mandatory:
- Access the GCP console by going to https://console.cloud.google.com in any browser.
- Login with your Google account (for example, Gmail).
- Register for GCP using your Google account.
At this point, I won’t write many step-by-step instructions since it’s a straightforward registration process. Check out https://cloud.google.com/docs/get-started if you have doubts about any step.
A common question at this point is, do I have to pay for this? The answer is no, but you need to register with a payment method.
When you initially register for GCP, you will be asked for a payment method, but you won’t be charged for anything at that point.
When will you be charged?
You will be charged...
