## Overview

Google Cloud Arcade Masterclass is a curated catalog of Google Cloud Skills Boost and Arcade lab guides and scripts, not a single cloud application. A learner finds a lab folder, follows its TechCode.md instructions in Cloud Shell, and runs the lab script to work with the relevant Google Cloud services. The README documents broad lab areas; the tree shows many individual labs, but their scripts were not sampled, so the domain links below represent catalog coverage rather than verified runtime calls.

Main entry points: [`API Gateway- Qwik Start/TechCode.sh`](https://github.com/velu2k03/google-cloud-arcade-masterclass/blob/main/API%20Gateway-%20Qwik%20Start/TechCode.sh) (Lab script), [`README.md`](https://github.com/velu2k03/google-cloud-arcade-masterclass/blob/main/README.md) (Lab collection), [`API Gateway- Qwik Start/TechCode.md`](https://github.com/velu2k03/google-cloud-arcade-masterclass/blob/main/API%20Gateway-%20Qwik%20Start/TechCode.md) (Lab instructions), [`Google Kubernetes Engine- Qwik Start`](https://github.com/velu2k03/google-cloud-arcade-masterclass/tree/main/Google%20Kubernetes%20Engine-%20Qwik%20Start) (Compute and GKE)
