Google Cloud – Create VM instance

In this step I will be working through the first step of my Migrate to VMC to Google Cloud project

Step 1 – Select VM Instance and hit Create

gcloud-step1

Step 2 – Name your instance, pick your guest operating system, and machine type
  • Name – webserver
  • Machine type – g1-small (1 vCPU, 1.7 GB memory)
  • Allow HTTP and HTTPS traffic (Next project is to apply ssl certs to my sites)

gcloud-step4

Step 3 – You should now see your instance powered on and assigned a public and private IP

gcloud-step5

Step 4 – Access your machine via SSH

It looks like Google Cloud makes it pretty easy to connect to your Instances via SSH in your browser

Click the SSH drop down and select “Open in browser window”

gcloud-step6-ssh

In the next post I will install and configure docker.
