Customization of the environment is also allowed.

What happens to the Cloud Shell VM Instance once the session is over?
Cloud Shell VM Instance is provisioned per-user,per-session basis.This instance will remain active as long as the session is active and if the session is inactive for more than an hour, then the session gets terminated and VM instance discarded..
What happens to the persistent storage of 5gb once the session is over?
As mentioned above a persistent storage of 5gb is mounted as $home directory when the VM instance is launched and even if the VM is discarded after the session, this storage continues to exist and all files stored in the home directory, including installed software, scripts and user configuration files like .bashrc and .vimrc, persist between sessions. Your $HOME directory is private to you and cannot be accessed by other users.
