The Google Cloud Platform Developer Console (GCP Console) is a web-based interface that allows developers and administrators to manage and monitor their cloud resources.
Key features of the GCP Console include project management, cloud resource management, service enablement and configuration, IAM security, real-time monitoring and logging, and API capabilities.
To get started, create a Google Cloud account, access the Developer Console at console.cloud.google.com, create a new project, enable necessary APIs and services, and monitor and optimize your application using Cloud Monitoring and Logging tools.
Best practices for using the GCP Console include using labels for organization, setting IAM permissions carefully, and enabling Cloud Billing alerts.
