How to create a GCP account step by step
Hello everyone
Welcome to cloudaffaire.com and this is Debjeet.
This is my first blog post in cloudaffaire.com for GCP and I welcome you to this platform of knowledge sharing.
The entire IT industry is currently going through a transition and moving towards the future that is the cloud. And it’s time to update your existing skillset and get accustomed to at least one cloud technology for your own future.
GCP or Google Cloud Platform is one of the leading cloud service providers in the market with 10% market share.
Before you start using GCP, you need to create one account with Google Cloud and today we will learn about how to create a GCP account step by step. GCP offers a free account with limitations for one year. In order to create the account, you need one valid mail account, phone number, and credit card.
Note: Rupees 1 will be deducted from your credit card for verification which is refundable
