Google Cloud Shell is an online bash shell based on Debian.[1][2][3] The free tier (included with all Gmail accounts) includes 8 gigabytes of random-access memory and a persistent 5 gigabyte home directory. Except for the home and root directories, the Cloud Shell environment is volatile [clarification needed].
