The SDK provides a set of tools and libraries that enable developers to build applications for various platforms, including Windows, Mac, and Linux. It includes tools such as gcloud, bq, gsutil, and kubectl that can be used for various tasks.

The SDK is free to download and use. It is open source and actively maintained by Google. Developers can learn more about Google Cloud SDK by visiting the official documentation on the Google Cloud Platform website.
