Create a Compute Engine VM

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: 
    gcloud compute ssh --zone ZONE VM_NAME --project PARTNER_PROJECT

    Ensure that the firewall allows TCP ingress on port 22 of the VM.
