1. Create Virtual Machine On Google Compute Engine Olanrewaju Abidogun | Google Cloud Next’17 Extended - Ibadan
2. What Compute Engine Simply Mean: It's a google cloud service that delivers virtual machines running in Google's innovative data centers and worldwide fiber network. Compute Engine's tooling and workflow support enable scaling from single instances to global, load-balanced cloud computing.
3. About Google Compute Engine ➢ It’s an Infrastructure-as-a-Service ➢ It provides scaleable and highly customizable virtual machines. ➢ Compute Engine's VMs boot quickly, come with high performance persistent and local disk options, deliver consistent performance. ➢ Virtual servers are available in many configurations including predefined sizes, and option to create Custom Machine Types optimized for your specific needs. ➢ Its cheap with flexible pricing plan.
4. Setup and Requirements ➔ Create a Google Account ➔ Sign-in to Google Cloud Platform console https://console.cloud.google.com/ ➔ Create a new Project Take Note Remember your project ID, it’s a unique name across all Google Cloud projects.
5. Create a New Instance You can create a new Google Compute Engine Virtual Machine Instance in two ways: ➢ From Cloud Console ➢ From Cloud Shell using the command line tool called gcloud
6. Using Cloud Console. ➢ Make sure you’re signed in to the developer Console ➢ Click the hamburger menu, then select Compute Engine
8. Yasssss!!! you’ve your new virtual machine created. Lets SSH into the VM to install our NGINX server. Take Note Remember the External IP of the machine on the VM instances page - you will need this later
9. Lets Install Our NGINX Server. ➢ Click on SSH on the right hand side of the instance page. ➢ A new browser window shows up to display the SSH client
10. ➢ Get root access by typing sudo su ➢ Download repositories new package list by executing apt-get update ➢ Then Install NGINX like so : apt-get install nginx-y
11. ➢ Check if NGINX is installed with : ps auwx | grep nginx If you can see that….Great!!! ➢ Now, Lets see our webpage using the External IP, remember?? ➢ In your browser, type http://EXTERNAL IP
12. Creating VM Instance with NGINX server done and dusted Do you prefer working on the terminal to GUI? Ok, we can do it your way.
13. Using the Command Line Tool (gcloud) From Google Cloud Shell ➢ Open the google cloud shell by clicking ➢ Create a new virtual machine from the command line using gcloud
14. No restrictions!!! You Can Create Custom Machine Types
15. Be a good cloud citizen: ➢ You can stop an instance temporarily to save running cost when it’s not in use. ➢ You can as well delete it, after all, they are easy to create.
