Question
You are developing a web application using Cloud Run and Cloud Storage. You are notified of a production issue that you need to troubleshoot immediately. You need to implement a workaround that requires you to execute a script on a Git repository. Your corporate laptop is unavailable but you have your personal computer. You can use your corporate credentials to access the required Git repository and Google Cloud resources. You want to fix the issue as quickly and efficiently as possible while minimizing additional cost. What should you do?

Explanation
Cloud Shell (option C) is the fastest and most cost-effective solution here. It is a fully managed, browser-based development environment accessible from any computer via the Google Cloud console. It comes pre-installed with the gcloud CLI, Git, and common development tools, requires zero installation or configuration on the personal machine, and authenticates using your corporate Google identity. You simply open a browser, navigate to the Cloud Console, launch Cloud Shell, clone the repository, and run the script. Option A (Cloud Workstations) works but is slower to provision and incurs additional cost. Option B (installing VS Code + Cloud Code) requires downloading software, which takes time and leaves corporate tooling on a personal machine. Option D (installing the gcloud CLI) also requires installation and setup time, and leaves credentials on a personal device.
