To follow the video tutorial, I had to configure the Google Cloud SDK and set up WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) on Ubuntu as an alternative to the instructor's Virtual Machine. This process was quite time-consuming.
To succeed with this setup, you will need a basic understanding of the Linux CLI (Command Line Interface), terminal-based text editors, and a "problem-solving" mindset to navigate alternative configurations. Here are a few specific challenges I encountered:
When the instructor showed about GCP configuration. Instead of the instructor's method, I used gcloud auth application-default login to manage my GCP authentication, which streamlined the process by eliminating the need for manual token variables.
The instructor also provided a deep dive into Terraform and core infrastructure concepts too. which made me understood about Infrastructure as code behavior of Terraform.
While I initially faced some confusion regarding the homework requirements—mistakenly processing the Yellow Taxi data instead of the Green Taxi dataset—the process of troubleshooting and modifying the workflow was a rewarding challenge. It’s been a great experience solving these technical hurdles. although it consumed my time and energy a lot.
