Concepts

Regions, zones

Projects - all related resources are encapsulated within "Projects"

Projects

Have a name, number, and id (also known as application id)

Users interact with projects using the cloud console or the cloud API manager

permissions - Owner, editor, viewer, billing administrator (each project can have multiple users in each role, best practice - allocate more than one owner)

Create a project per student project. Have students be editors on their projects–that should enable them to deploy any apps and create any functionality.

providing specific permissions to students depends upon the intricacies of the projects.
