Overview

• Labs are timed and cannot be paused. The timer starts when you click Start Lab.

• The included cloud terminal is preconfigured with the gcloud SDK.

• Use the terminal to execute commands and then click Check my progress to verify your work.

Challenge scenario

• You have an existing Cloud Storage bucket named qwiklabs-gcp-00-8809a1bbfbd0-bucket that contains the following files necessary for a simple static website:

  • index.html (The main landing page)

  • error.html (Custom error page)

  • style.css

  • logo.jpg

• Currently, the bucket is not configured for website hosting. Your task is to update the configuration to make this website publicly accessible.

• As of now, there is no need to create a load balancer or CDN to redirect the request to the cloud storage bucket.
