Require consistent, portable gcloud CLI access across multiple workstations while traveling. Which approach avoids manual gcloud management?

Google Cloud Shell provides a consistent, pre-configured gcloud environment directly in your browser, accessible from any device with an internet connection. This eliminates the need for local installation or management on individual workstations, making it ideal for travel and ensuring a uniform experience. Creating a Compute Engine instance and SSHing to it adds an extra layer of complexity and cost, and still requires managing that instance. Installing gcloud on every workstation, even with auto-update, requires initial setup and ongoing maintenance on each device. Using a package manager simplifies installation but doesn't remove the need to install and manage gcloud on every individual workstation you use.
