Manage Google Cloud Platform on the go with Cloud Console for Android
Monday, March 30, 2015
Imagine being away from your desk and receiving automatic alerts when an issue occurs in your
Google App Engine
app. Or waiting at the airport and stopping your test VMs before leaving for vacation. With the beta launch of Cloud Console for Android, managing Google Cloud Platform from your phone or tablet is possible (and yes, an iOS version is in the works).
With just a few taps you can quickly glance at the status of your solution, set up alerts, manage your
Cloud Platform resources
and access
Google Cloud Monitoring
performance and health graphs.
Get it
now from the Google Play Store.
Quickly view app status
Want to determine the status of your solution with just a quick glance? Customize the home page with your personal selection of monitoring graphs, a billing estimate or
Cloud Platform service status
information.
Get alerts and manage incidents
Want to be told when something goes wrong, for example when your
Google Compute Engine
instances rise above their expected load of 50% CPU for one hour? Cloud Console for Android integrates with
Cloud Monitoring
, enabling automated incident tracking when system metrics deviate. You can configure alerts to display directly in the Android notification drawer, and you can comment so that your team knows you’re working on the issue.
View App Engine and Compute Engine properties and make quick changes
When investigating an issue, you often need to check the health and properties of your resources, such as running state, zone or IP. The app supports viewing details and monitoring graphs for App Engine and Compute Engine instances. You can also invoke a number of core operations, such as changing the App Engine version or starting/stopping a Compute Engine instance.
Get started now
The app is available in the Google Play Store, just search for Cloud Console. For tips on how to configure the app, take a look at
this quick guide

Feedback wanted
Cloud Console for Android is currently in beta, and an iOS app is expected to launch later this year. Over the coming months, we’ll continue to add new features and resolve issues. To influence our future work, please send your feedback, ideas and suggestions to android-cloud-console@google.com!
