> Easily my favourite feature of Google Cloud is every(?) web console action has the CLI command, or API RPC to achieve the same action.

I believe that's true of the AWS console, also; there's even a(few?) Chrome extensions to generate CFN and/or TF to replay console actions because the API calls are present in XHRs from the console. I often use the dev tools as a cheatsheet for what params to plug in for things, or to find out how AWS APIs relate to one another
