Bash snippet I use to create a temporary GCP project for doing datalab stuff

create_gcp_data_project.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash
set -e

PROJECT_SUFFIX=$(cat /dev/random | LC_CTYPE=C tr -dc "a-z0-9" | head -c 5)

PROJECT_NAME=temp-project-$PROJECT_SUFFIX

PROJECT_BUCKET=data_export_bucket-$PROJECT_SUFFIX

# Update gcloud
gcloud components update
gcloud components install beta gsutil bq datalab

# $MY_BILLING_ACCOUNT should be set outside this file.  You can find yours with:
# gcloud beta billing accounts list

# Create a new project
gcloud projects create $PROJECT_NAME

# Enable Billing
gcloud beta billing projects link $PROJECT_NAME --billing-account $MY_BILLING_ACCOUNT

sleep 60

# Create the storage bucket
gsutil mb -p $PROJECT_NAME gs://$PROJECT_BUCKET

# Set the project
gcloud config set project $PROJECT_NAME

# Create the datalab instance
gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com sourcerepo.googleapis.com
datalab create --zone us-west2-a temp-datalab
