GCP Cloud Shell Vim Settings
I had an issue with using the backspace in Vim in GCP’s Cloud Shell. Every time I’m in the insert mode and I want to edit using backspace, it doesn’t delete the characters. It shows these characters “^?” instead. Well, it turned out to be a backspace setting that you can set within .vimrc. So, here’s my working setup.
colo desert syntax on set backspace=indent,eol,start set nocompatible |
- The first line uses the desert theme.
- The second line turns on syntax highlighting. It’s on by default.
- The third line fixes the backspace issue I mentioned above.
GCP CLI Create Firewall
Here’s how to add a firewall rule in Google Cloud Platform CLI
gcloud compute firewall-rules create "firewall-name" \ --description="firewall-description" \ --priority "1000" \ --direction INGRESS \ --action allow \ --network "network-name" \ --target-service-accounts="service@account.net" \ --source-ranges="10.0.0.0/8" \ --rules tcp:9001 |
Describe firewall rule.
gcloud compute firewall-rules describe firewall-name |
Delete firewall rule.
gcloud compute firewall-rules delete firewall-name |
