Zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s: Instructions for authenticating with gcloud

[choldgraf]

I'm running into a bunch of problems getting things to create using gcloud...we should add instructions for what to do if people run into these problems.

[ryanlovett]

What were the problems?

[choldgraf]

Yuvi and I chatted about it - we'll update the docs in the next few days

Also I feel like being explicit about all the steps would be good:

• create an gcloud account
• create a project in the gcloud account
• enable sdk for this project
• gcloud auth login
• gcloud config set project VALUE
• gcloud container clusters create ...

I agree @amueller. Here's a link to some screenshots that I took about a month ago: https://github.com/willingc/learning_with_jupyterhub/tree/master/source/_static/images

[choldgraf]

totally agree as well - it's kind of a big PITA to set all of that up :P

[amueller]

I don't think it's that bad and it only took me a couple of minutes (well I'm not done but I think I'm done with the gcloud stuff?). But more explicit instructions mean less friction which is always better :)

[choldgraf]

Yeah - I think it's one of those things that is super easy once you know how to do it, but really confusing and opaque for a new user

[yuvipanda]

@choldgraf anything more we need to do here?

[choldgraf]

not in an actionable way anyway, I'm sure there are more ways to improve the gcloud instructions, but now we've got both gcloud and interactive shell instructions, so I think we should close this in lieu of spot-checking suggestions in their own issues
