Overview

This lab provides practical experience of creating a Google Cloud Compute Engine VM. There are different public cloud providers like AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean, etc. In our lab we will use GCP. Creating and consuming the infrastructure is similar across different cloud providers with a few vendor-specific differences. In this exercise we will learn how to create a Google Cloud Compute Engine (Virtual Machine).
