Click the name of the lab on the list. The lab instructions will open in a 2nd tab; navigate to that tab.

Once you are logged into the Google Cloud Console, verify that the user name and project match the credentials in step 3.
Follow the directions on the instruction page (the 2nd tab) to complete the lab tasks.
