Is Google Cloud Shell an IDE?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 8:37 pm

Google Cloud Shell is an open-source command line interface for managing Google Cloud Platform resources. It includes a shell, terminal emulator, and Google Cloud Platform Tools for Visual Studio.

It can be used to manage a Google Cloud Platform project, run commands on a cluster, get information about a resource, and more.

PRO TIP: No, Google Cloud Shell is not an IDE. It is a command-line interface that provides access to your Google Cloud Platform resources.

While Google Cloud Shell is not an IDE, it can be used for developing and debugging applications on Google Cloud Platform. It includes built-in support for Google Cloud Platform services such as Cloud Storage, Cloud Datastore, and Cloud Functions.

Additionally, Google Cloud Shell includes the CloudShell Tools for Visual Studio, which provide wizards and tools for developing and debugging applications on Google Cloud Platform.
