Summary

Fixes for guide-following medium and high-level blockers surfaced by Beams agent testing of GCP installation and deployment documentation. Changes add gcloud CLI alternatives for Console-only
steps, <Checkpoint> verification blocks after critical operations, and decision guidance
for ambiguous configuration choices.

Changes

  • gcp.mdx (agents): Added blocks after token creation and service join with
    tctl/tsh verification commands, gcloud compute instances describe for service account
    discovery, and an on security best practices for scoping allow rules.

  • gcp.mdx (deployments): Added gcloud CLI commands for Firestore database creation, GCS
    bucket creation, service account key generation, and load balancer/DNS setup that were
    previously Console-only. Added blocks after backend resource creation and
    pre-install verification.

  • gcp.mdx (helm-deployments): Added gcloud CLI alternatives in for IAM role
    creation, service account creation with role binding, service account key generation,
    and DNS record creation. Added blocks after secret creation, cert-manager
    install, Helm install, DNS setup, and final cluster verification.

  • gcp-kms.mdx: Added gcloud kms locations list for discovering KMS locations,
    blocks after key ring creation, IAM policy binding, KMS access verification, and
    post-restart health check. Added decision guidance for protection level (SOFTWARE vs.
    HSM) and a tip about using attached service accounts over JSON keys.
