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.
