Migrate gsutil usage to gcloud storage #4335

Automated: Migrate paths from gsutil to gcloud storage

This CL is part of the on going effort to migrate from the legacy gsutil tool to the new and improved gcloud storage command-line interface. gcloud storage is the recommended and modern tool for interacting with Google Cloud Storage, offering better performance, unified authentication, and a more consistent command structure with other gcloud components. 🚀

Automation Details

This change was generated automatically by an agent that targets users of gsutil.
The transformations applied are based on the gsutil to gcloud storage migration guide.

⚠️ Action Required: Please Review and Test Carefully

While we have based the automation on the migration guide, every use case is unique.
It is crucial that you thoroughly test these changes in environments appropriate to your use-case before merging.
Be aware of potential differences between gsutil and gcloud storage that could impact your workflows.
For instance, the structure of command output may have changed, requiring updates to any scripts that parse it. Similarly, command behavior can differ subtly; the gcloud storage rsync command has a different file deletion logic than gsutil rsync, which could lead to unintended file deletions.

Our migration guides can help guide you through a list of mappings and some notable differences between the two tools.

Standard presubmit tests are run as part of this CL's workflow. If you need to target an additional test workflow or require assistance with testing, please let us know.

Please verify that all your Cloud Storage operations continue to work as expected to avoid any potential disruptions in production.

Support and Collaboration

The GCS CLI team is here to help! If you encounter any issues, have a complex use case that this automated change doesn't cover, or face any other blockers, please don't hesitate to reach out.
We are happy to work with you to test and adjust these changes as needed.

Summary of Changes

Hello @googlyrahman, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request systematically updates various Jupyter notebooks to replace deprecated gsutil commands with their modern gcloud storage counterparts. This change is part of an ongoing effort to standardize interactions with Google Cloud Storage, ensuring that all examples and workflows utilize the latest and most efficient command-line interface. The automation ensures consistency and prepares the notebooks for future compatibility and performance enhancements.

Highlights

Automated Migration to gcloud storage: This pull request automates the migration of gsutil commands to gcloud storage commands across multiple Jupyter notebooks, aligning with the recommended and modern approach for interacting with Google Cloud Storage.
Command Replacements: Key gsutil commands such as mb (make bucket), ls (list), cp (copy), rm (remove), and cat (concatenate) have been replaced with their gcloud storage equivalents, often including additional flags for equivalent functionality (e.g., --all-versions --long for ls -al, --recursive for rm -r).
IAM Policy Binding Update: The gsutil iam ch command for managing IAM policies has been updated to gcloud storage buckets add-iam-policy-binding, with a note indicating the increased complexity of migrating iam ch scripts due to its more granular nature in gcloud storage.
Improved Performance and Consistency: The migration aims to leverage the benefits of gcloud storage, including better performance, unified authentication, and a more consistent command structure across gcloud components.

Code Review

This pull request automates the migration of gsutil commands to the more modern gcloud storage equivalent across several Jupyter notebooks. The migration is largely successful, with commands like ls, cp, rm, and cat being correctly translated. However, I've found a recurring issue with the gcloud storage buckets create command where the arguments are in the wrong order, which would cause the command to fail. I've left specific suggestions to fix this in each affected file. Once these are addressed, the changes should be good to go.
