Summary

In this chapter, we learned the basics of GCP. We talked about 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 alert and budgets to control the cost of GCP usage.

In the next chapter, we will have a look at GCP core services, and, in the chapters that follow, we will continue to deep dive into each of them.
