GCE-GCS Challenge 1 – Bucket Issues

Hello Eddie,

I’m not sure what could have gone wrong with your trail, but, follow the below, adjusting it to your own needs:

#: create the new project  
gcloud projects create pimballeke-new-project005 --enable-cloud-apis  

#: current documentation does not mention what are the APIs enabled when crating a   
#: new project with the --enable-cloud-apis flag. I opened a request for better docs:   
#: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/155496681  
#: enable the billing account for the created project  
#: list billing accounts  
gcloud alpha billing accounts list  

#: link the project and the billing acocunt  
gcloud alpha billing projects link pimballeke-new-project005 --billing-account XXXXXX-XXXXXX-XXXXXX  

#: set the current session project's  
gcloud config set project pimballeke-new-project005  

#: set the default region and the default zone on the cloud shell  
gcloud config set compute/region us-west2  
gcloud config set compute/zone us-west2-b  

#: list enabled apis  
gcloud services list --enabled

#: create the bucket  
gsutil mb gs://pimballeke-new-project005/  

#: create the instance with the user-data script, the metadata for the bucket and the scopes for monitoring, storage and logging  
gcloud compute instances create myvm01 --metadata lab-logs-bucket=gs://pimballeke-new-project005/ --metadata-from-file startup-script=script.sh --scopes storage-rw,monitoring-write,logging-write --machine-type f1-micro --deletion-protection  

#: ssh in to check top  
gcloud compute ssh myvm01  

#: check contents on the bucket  
$ gsutil ls -a gs://pimballeke-new-project005/  
gs://pimballeke-new-project005/machine-myvm01-finished.txt#1596746013258924  
-- cleaning up  

#: deleting the vm instance  
$ gcloud compute instances update myvm01 --no-deletion-protection  
Setting deletion protection of instance [myvm01] to [False]...done.  

$ gcloud compute instances delete myvm01  

 - [myvm01] in [us-west2-b]  

Do you want to continue (Y/n)?  Y  

Deleted [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/pimballeke-new-project005/zones/us-west2-b/instances/myvm01].  

#: deleting the bucket created  
$ gsutil rm -r gs://pimballeke-new-project005/
