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.

This looks like a tricky one. I'm thinking option B might be the way to go - creating a Compute Engine instance with the gcloud CLI installed could make it easier to access from different workstations.
