You are managing several projects on Google Cloud and need to interact on a daily basis with BigQuery, Bigtable, and Kubernetes Engine using the gcloud CL tool. You are travelling a lot and work on different workstations during the week. You want to avoid having to manage the gcloud CLI manually. What should you do?

Google Cloud Shell provides a browser-based shell environment with the gcloud CLI pre-installed and authenticated. This eliminates the need to install or manage gcloud on individual workstations, ensuring a consistent environment regardless of where you are working. Creating a Compute Engine instance adds unnecessary overhead and cost, and still requires SSH access. Installing gcloud on all workstations, even with auto-update, means manual setup and maintenance on each device. Using a package manager simplifies initial installation but doesn't address the need for a consistent, pre-authenticated environment across multiple, changing workstations.
