Start in the Google Cloud Shell. (review)

This tutorial assumes a default compute region and zone have been configured.

Set a default compute region appropriate to your location (GCP regions and zones):

$ gcloud config set compute/region us-central1

Set a default compute zone appropriate to the zone:

$ gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-c

Verify the configuration settings:

$ gcloud config list
