# Google Cloud Project

[1\. A Tour of Google Cloud Hands-on Labs](https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/focuses/2794?parent=catalog) introduces the Google Cloud console. There's also a walkthrough on how to enable an API (e.g. Dialogflow).

* [Basic Roles/Primitive Roles](https://cloud.google.com/iam/docs/understanding-roles/#primitive%5C_roles) (Viewer, Editor, Owner) are highly permissive and are not recommended in production environments. Instead, use predefined roles or custom roles.
    
* The core principle of [REST architecture style](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resources) is to "define named resources that can be manipulated using a small number of methods."
