`apt-get install google-cloud-sdk` stopped working

Hi @thebuckst0p ,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You are correct in your understanding of the situation. The google-cloud-sdk package has indeed been deprecated and replaced with google-cloud-cli. While the transition documentation might not be explicitly stated in one place, here’s what’s happening and how to handle it:

  • google-cloud-sdk is deprecated, replaced by google-cloud-cli for command-line tools and individual client libraries.
  • google-cloud-cli offers modularity and flexibility.
  • Python client libraries are still compatible with google-cloud-cli.
  • Adjust import statements and access methods if your application isn’t working smoothly.
  • Check client library documentation for compatibility updates or usage changes.
