GKE Connect Gateway: builds on the power of fleets to let Anthos users connect to and run
commands against registered Anthos clusters in a simple, consistent, and secured way, whether
the clusters are on Google Cloud, other public clouds, or on premises, and makes it easier to
automate DevOps processes across all your clusters.
Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to
create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of
dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.
With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system
install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system
dependencies.
