  • Custom installed software packages may not persist across Cloud Shell sessions

    The virtual machine instance that backs your Cloud Shell session is not assigned to the session forever and gets deleted if the session is idle for about an hour. Once the instance is deleted, any modifications that you made to it outside your $HOME will be lost in the next sessions.

    We do allow the use of 'sudo' to install custom packages, and we would welcome your feedback on which packages you had to install so that we can include them in the default configuration. We are also working on a solution that would persist custom packages across sessions on different VM instances.

    Very useful :)

  • Thanks. Very useful.
