This page describes how to create a Compute Engine VM.

As the first step to create a connector VM, create a Compute Engine VM.
1. To create a Compute Engine VM in your Google Cloud project, run the following gcloud command:

   gcloud compute instances create VM_NAME --zone=ZONE --project=PARTNER_PROJECT
     

2. To create an SSH connection to the created VM, run the following gcloud command:
