I was looking into google cloud to explore some options for a client to leverage some automation elements and was very interested until I learned of the lack of PowerShell support.
For the life of me I cannot understand Google’s purpose to neglect populations of individual platforms and still want professionals to take their platform seriously as their competitors. Okay I’m done complaining.
It is something I sincerely hope Google notices and rectifies so that it supports PowerShell as it installs on all OS genres. To leave out automation potential is saying I’m just doing this cloud thing to be like everyone else.
So in my humble opinion there is simply no Power in google cloud shell.
How many others are fine learning python and writing shorthand and okay with not embracing a world where we take any OS as a catalyst that connects your tools to all the cloud providers.
Let me know what you think in the comments below.
I agree they should include Powershell, but at least you can use Powershell to access their API (ex. https://github.com/SCRT-HQ/PSGSuite) to do some degree of automation.
