Create a VM in Google Cloud

In this lab we’ll do a walk through of how to create a virtual machine that runs Linux in the cloud.

Create a VM

In class I do a walk-through of these publicly available labs and tutorials. If you learn nothing else from the class you should learn how to use publicly available resources to gain new skills. The cloud is ever changing, knowing how to use the manuals will keep you current.

• Add your SSH key(s) to your project

• Create an instance

• Reserve a static IP for your instance

Connect to VS Code

Your new VM can be connected to VS Code. In class I demonstrate how to do this using your IP address.
