GCP Setup Scripts & Guidance

Place provisioning helpers in the repository under /scripts.

Minimal Required APIs

• aiplatform.googleapis.com
• alloydb.googleapis.com (or sqladmin.googleapis.com for Cloud SQL)
• bigquery.googleapis.com
• cloudbuild.googleapis.com
• secretmanager.googleapis.com

Recommended First Steps for Students

1. Create a dedicated GCP project (or use a sandbox).
2. Enable the APIs above.
3. Create a service account with least-privilege roles for the labs.
4. Run the provided bootstrap script (to be added) that creates a Vector Search index placeholder and an AlloyDB instance (or documents the manual steps).

Detailed scripts will be populated as labs are finalized.
