Flink can be deployed on Google Cloud using one utility called BDUtil. It is an open source utility available for everyone to use https://cloud.google.com/hadoop/bdutil. The very first step we need to do is to install Google Cloud SDK.
Google Cloud SDK is an executable utility that can be installed on the Windows, Mac, or UNIX operating systems. You can choose the mode of installation based on your operating system. Here is a link that directs users about detailed installations at https://cloud.google.com/sdk/downloads.
Here I assume that you are already familiar with Google Cloud concepts and the terminologies; if not I would recommend reading https://cloud.google.com/docs/.
In my case, I will be using UNIX machine to launch a Flink-Hadoop cluster. So let's get started with the installation.
First, we need to download the installer for the Cloud SDK.
