SSH to Google Compute Engine
Introduction I previously wrote a guide on creating a Virtual Machine (VM) instance  on Google Cloud  and accessing it via gcloud . However, if your Google Cloud  account lacks permission to manage VM instances, or if you want to create a VM instance  that allows SSH  for easy sharing with other users and compatibility with various SSH  tools, follow the steps below. Configure SSH access for VM instance Firstly, you need to create a compute instance as follows: gcloud  compute  instances  create  {instance  name}  \   --zone={zone} \   --machine-type= { machine  type} # ex: gcloud  compute  instances  create  instance-1  \   --zone=asia-southeast1-a \   --machine-type=e2-micro Next, SSH  into this VM  to perform the necessary configurations. Typically, a Google VM instance  will have a Distributor ID  of Debian . Use the following command to check this before proceeding with the next steps. lsb_release  -a Next, set the password for the root account as follows: sudo  passwd Next, use t...
