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.

We appreciate your partnership in this important migration effort!

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 several Jupyter notebooks by migrating their Google Cloud Storage command-line interactions from the legacy gsutil tool to the modern gcloud storage interface. This automated change aims to align the notebooks with Google Cloud's recommended practices, offering users better performance and a more consistent experience. Reviewers are encouraged to thoroughly test the updated notebooks due to potential subtle behavioral differences between the two tools, especially concerning command output parsing and file deletion logic.

Highlights

  • Automated Migration: This pull request automatically migrates gsutil commands to their gcloud storage equivalents across multiple Jupyter notebooks.
  • Command Replacements: Key gsutil commands such as mb, ls, cp, cat, rm, and iam ch have been replaced with their gcloud storage counterparts, including gcloud storage buckets create, gcloud storage ls, gcloud storage cp, gcloud storage cat, gcloud storage rm, and gcloud storage buckets add-iam-policy-binding.
  • IAM Policy Binding Notes: Specific changes for gsutil iam ch include added comments highlighting the increased complexity of migrating these commands and suggesting the use of add-iam-policy-binding or remove-iam-policy-binding.
  • Enhanced Functionality: The migration leverages gcloud storage for its improved performance, unified authentication, and consistent command structure within the gcloud ecosystem.

Code Review

This pull request contains automated migrations from gsutil to gcloud storage across several Jupyter notebooks. The migrations are generally correct, replacing gsutil commands with their gcloud storage equivalents. However, I've identified a few issues that need attention. There is a critical issue in one notebook where the automated change introduced a syntax error, making the notebook file invalid. Additionally, in two other notebooks, a migrated command will fail at runtime due to a case-sensitivity issue when parsing command output. These issues should be fixed to ensure the notebooks run correctly after the migration.

This line is a Python comment, but it's inside a list of strings for a notebook cell's source. This is not valid JSON and will break the notebook. Additionally, the note is a duplicate of the one on line 547. Please remove this line.

" assert BUCKET_URI.startswith(\"gs://\"), \"BUCKET_URI must start with `gs://`.\"\n",
" shell_output = ! gsutil ls -Lb {BUCKET_NAME} | grep \"Location constraint:\" | sed \"s/Location constraint://\"\n",

The output of gcloud storage ls --full --buckets uses title case for keys, like Location Constraint:. The grep command is case-sensitive and will fail to find Location constraint:. This will cause the notebook to fail when trying to determine the bucket region. Please update both grep and sed to match the new output format.

    shell_output = ! gcloud storage ls --full --buckets {BUCKET_NAME} | grep "Location Constraint:" | sed "s/Location Constraint: //"

" shell_output = ! gsutil ls -Lb {BUCKET_NAME} | grep \"Location constraint:\" | sed \"s/Location constraint://\"\n",
" bucket_region = shell_output[0].strip().lower()\n",
# Note: The format of the full listing output is different. gcloud storage uses a title case for keys and will not display a field if its value is "None".
" shell_output = ! gcloud storage ls --full --buckets {BUCKET_NAME} | grep \"Location constraint:\" | sed \"s/Location constraint://\"\n", " bucket_region = shell_output[0].strip().lower()\n",
