Steps when creating a VM Instance in Google Compute Engine

  1. Input name
  2. Input labels (key-value pairs, similar to tags in AWS EC2 setup)
  3. Choose RegionRegionspecific geographical locations to host your resources gcp: * each region has at least 3 zones Status: #idea Tags: cloud References and ZoneZoneMost providers: * at least 3 in a Region gcp: * has at least one discrete cluster * connected to each through low latency links Status: #idea Tags: cloud References
  4. Configure hardware by choosing one of the Compute Engine FamilyCompute Engine Family1. General purpose 1. Memory-optimized 1. Compute-optimized 1. GPU Similar to AWS EC2 Instance Types Status: #idea Tags: gcp, google-cloud-engineer, cloud, cloud-compute, Google Compute Engine, Steps when creating a VM Instance in Google Compute Engine References
  5. Choose Boot diskBoot diskImages/Operating System to boot from Have to choose of the Image Types Status: #idea Tags: gcp, google-cloud-engineer, cloud, cloud-compute, Google Compute Engine, Steps when creating a VM Instance in Google Compute Engine References
  6. Configure firewall
  7. After instance is created, there is the internal IP and external IP
    1. (Optional) Assign Static IPStatic IPgcp: * Static IP can be switched to another VM instance in same project * Static IP remains attached even if you stop the instance. You have to manually detach it. * Remember : You are billed for an Static IP when you are NOT using it! * Make sure that you explicitly release an Static IP when you are not using it.

or use an Instance TemplateInstance TemplateDefine machine type, image, labels, startup script and other properties * CANNOT be updated * To make a change, copy an existing template and modify it Use case: * VM instances * Managed instance groups Status: #idea Tags: gcp, google-cloud-engineer, cloud, cloud-compute, Google Compute Engine, Steps when creating a VM Instance in Google Compute Engine References
