Managing Google Runtime Configurations

Using Spring Cloud Config with Google Runtime Configs is pretty nice, but also pretty painful.  There's no UI.  No straight forward way to see the configurations (buckets) or the variables contained within.  No easy (user friendly way) to add, delete, or update the variables.  After dealing with this a few weeks I decided to spend some time to make my own little bash script to assist in this process.  

The bash script* found on my github can be used to List Variables, Update Variables, add/Delete Variables.  Nothing too fancy overall, but it's saving me some time in working with this capability.

All of this works via command line using beta commands within gcloud.  Example: gcloud beta runtime-config configs 

Some things I may consider doing include:

• Create or Delete an entire config bucket
• Add the ability to switch projects
• Backup a variable that changes or is deleted
• create a UI and use the Cloud Runtime Configuration API
• Duplicate a configration and all variables 

*I use the phrase bash script loosely as I'm not a bash programmer.  I'm not good at it, I can just make things work.  I welcome any and all feedback, but right now, for my purposes this works pretty well
