Explanation

Explanation/Reference: You can access the master node of the cluster by clicking the SSH button next to it in the Cloud Console. You can easily use the --properties option of the dataproc command in the Google Cloud SDK to modify many common configuration files when creating a cluster. When creating a Cloud Dataproc cluster, you can specify initialization actions in executables and/or scripts that Cloud Dataproc will run on all nodes in your Cloud Dataproc cluster immediately after the cluster is set up.
