I’ve seen similar questions where installing gcloud on all workstations was suggested, but that sounds like a hassle to keep updated.

I’m not sure, but I think using a Compute Engine instance could be overkill for just managing gcloud.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. Option B, creating a Compute Engine instance with the gcloud CLI, seems like the most reliable way to ensure I can access the tools I need from anywhere. I'll go with that.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this question. I'm not sure if using a package manager or relying on auto-updates is the best approach here. Maybe I should look into the Google Cloud Shell option more closely.
