Reference documentation and code samples for the google-cloud-core module Google.
Google Cloud
The google-cloud library is the official library for interacting with Google
Cloud Platform. Google Cloud Platform is a set of modular cloud-based services
that allow you to create anything from simple websites to complex
applications.
The goal of google-cloud is to provide an API that is comfortable to
Rubyists. Your authentication credentials are detected automatically in
Google Cloud Platform environments such as Google Compute Engine, Google
App Engine and Google Kubernetes Engine. In other environments you can
configure authentication easily, either directly in your code or via
environment variables. Read more about the options for connecting in the
Authentication Guide.
