    it is great for automating tasks like deploying VMs, running BigQuery and managing cloud resources at scale. It is much faster than the UI for repetitive actions and allows you to easily script and scale progress. However it is not ideal for beginners

    Google Cloud CLI is highly usable once you’re past the basics, especially for engineers and DevOps teams who live in the terminal. It’s powerful, consistent, and scriptable, which makes it excellent for repeatable workflows, automation, and day-to-day cloud operations. The command structure is generally logical, tab-completion and help flags are solid, and it integrates cleanly into CI/CD pipelines—huge wins for productivity

    Google Cloud CLI stacks up well against other cloud and infrastructure CLIs by balancing power, consistency, and automation readiness, especially in production environments. Compared to AWS CLI, it’s more opinionated and readable, with better defaults and a more coherent command structure across services. Compared to Azure CLI, it’s less beginner-friendly but offers deeper control and is better suited for complex, large-scale workflows.

    With VMware cloud, each VMware Cloud customer must have an SDDC account(VMC) as well as a general AWS account. The two accounts must be linked for the service to work which is a tiresome thing to do for some clients but with IBM Cloud Private all these issues are solved.
