Automated: Migrate {target_path} 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.

Summary of Changes

Hello @gurusai-voleti, 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 transitions existing references and usage from the legacy gsutil command-line tool to the modern gcloud storage interface. The changes encompass updating command examples in a critical build script and refining documentation across multiple Google Cloud client libraries. This migration aims to leverage the enhanced performance, unified authentication, and consistent command structure offered by gcloud storage, streamlining interactions with Google Cloud Storage services.

Highlights

  • Automated Migration: This pull request automates the migration of gsutil commands to gcloud storage for interacting with Google Cloud Storage, aligning with Google's recommended modern toolset.
  • Script Updates: A Kokoro build script (.kokoro/trampoline_v2.sh) has been updated to use gcloud storage cp instead of gsutil cp in its commented examples.
  • Documentation Refinements: Documentation within the google-cloud-asset and google-cloud-build Python packages has been updated to refer to gcloud storage where gsutil was previously mentioned, ensuring consistency with the new standard.

Code Review

This pull request automates the migration from gsutil to gcloud storage by updating references in comments and documentation. The changes in .kokoro/trampoline_v2.sh and google/cloud/asset_v1p2beta1/types/asset_service.py are correct. However, I've identified a potential point of confusion in google/cloud/devtools/cloudbuild_v1/types/cloudbuild.py, where an enum member GSUTIL is now described as using gcloud storage. This makes the name misleading. I've added a comment to suggest improving the documentation for API clarity.

The enum member is named GSUTIL, but its description has been updated to say it uses gcloud storage. This creates a discrepancy that could be confusing for developers using this API, as the name GSUTIL strongly implies the use of the gsutil tool.

To improve clarity, please consider one of the following:

  1. Update the description to acknowledge the legacy name, for example: Use the "gcloud storage" tool to download the source file. This option is the successor to the legacy "gsutil" tool functionality.
  2. If this is a significant behavior change, it might be better to introduce a new enum member and deprecate GSUTIL to avoid breaking changes while guiding users to the new option.

This will help make the API less ambiguous.
