Hello, fellas!

I'd like to bring some attention to an issue I recently reported regarding Google Cloud CLI's SSH client selection.

Currently, gcloud seems to prioritize its bundled PuTTY-based SSH implementation over OpenSSH, even when OpenSSH is already installed on the system.

Honestly, PuTTY is pretty clunky compared to OpenSSH, especially when you're already familiar with the latter. OpenSSH is more flexible, versatile, and widely adopted, and on most systems it's either preinstalled or just a command away.

I don't see much reason for gcloud to favor its bundled implementation when a perfectly good OpenSSH installation is already available.…
