The Navigation menu is an important component of the Cloud Console—it offers quick access to the platform's services and also outlines its offerings. If you scroll through the menu, you will see that there are seven categories of Google Cloud services:
- Compute: houses a variety of machine types that support any type of workload. The different computing options let you decide how involved you want to be with operational details and infrastructure amongst other things.
- Storage: data storage and database options for structured or unstructured, relational or non relational data.
- Networking: services that balance application traffic and provision security rules amongst other things.
- Cloud Operations: a suite of cross-cloud logging, monitoring, trace, and other service reliability tools.
- Tools: services for developers managing deployments and application build pipelines.
- Big Data: services that allow you to process and analyze large datasets.
- Artificial Intelligence: a suite of APIs that run specific artificial intelligence and machine learning tasks on Google Cloud.

Certain Compute Engine resources live in regions or zones. A region is a specific geographical location where you can run your resources. Each region has one or more zones. For example, the us-central1 region denotes a region in the Central United States that has zones us-central1-a, us-central1-b, us-central1-c, and us-central1-f.
Resources that live in a zone are referred to as zonal resources. Virtual machine Instances and persistent disks live in a zone. To attach a persistent disk to a virtual machine instance, both resources must be in the same zone. Similarly, if you want to assign a static IP address to an instance, the instance must be in the same region as the static IP.
In this section, you'll learn how to create new pre-defined machine types with Compute Engine from the Cloud Console.
In the Cloud Console, on the top left of the screen, select Navigation menu > Compute Engine > VM Instances:
This may take a minute to initialize for the first time.
To create a new instance, click Create.
There are many parameters you can configure when creating a new instance. Use the following for this lab:
Click Create.
Wait for it to finish - it shouldn't take more than a minute.
Once finished, you should see the new virtual machine in the VM Instances page.
To SSH into the virtual machine, click on SSH on the right hand side. This launches a SSH client directly from your browser.
Now you'll install NGINX web server, one of the most popular web servers in the world, to connect your virtual machine to something.
Once SSH'ed, get root access using sudo:
sudo su -
As the root user, update your OS:
apt-get update

To check your progress in this lab, click Check my progress below. A checkmark means you're on track.
Rather than using the Cloud Console to create a virtual machine instance, you can use the command line tool gcloud, which is pre-installed in Google Cloud Shell. Cloud Shell is a Debian-based virtual machine loaded with all the development tools you'll need (gcloud, git, and others) and offers a persistent 5GB home directory.
In the Cloud Shell, create a new virtual machine instance from the command line using gcloud:
gcloud compute instances create gcelab2 --machine-type n1-standard-2 --zone us-central1-c
(Output)
Created [...gcelab2].
NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE ... STATUS
gcelab2 us-central1-c n1-standard-2 ... RUNNING
The instance created has these default values:
- The latest Debian 9 (stretch) image.
- The n1-standard-2 machine type. In this lab you can select one of these other machine types if you'd like: n1-highmem-4 or n1-highcpu-4. When you're working on a project outside of Qwiklabs, you can also specify a custom machine type.
- A root persistent disk with the same name as the instance; the disk is automatically attached to the instance.
Run
gcloud compute instances create --helpto see all the defaults.
Note: You can set the default region and zones that gcloud uses if you are always working within one region/zone and you don't want to append the --zone flag every time. Do this by running these commands :
gcloud config set compute/zone ...
gcloud config set compute/region ...
To exit help, press Ctrl+c.
Check out your instances. Select Navigation menu > Compute Engine > VM instances. You should see the 2 instances you created in this lab.
a new gcelab added here
Finally, you can SSH into your instance using gcloud as well. Make sure you add your zone, or omit the --zone flag if you've set the option globally:
gcloud compute ssh gcelab2 --zone us-central1-c
(Output)

gcloud offers simple usage guidelines that are available by adding the -hflag (for help) onto the end of any gcloud invocation.
Run the following command in Cloud Shell:
gcloud -h
More verbose help can be obtained by appending --help flag, or executing gcloud help command. Run the following in Cloud Shell:
gcloud config --help
Use the Enter key or the Spacebar to scroll through the help content.
Type q to exit the content.
Now run the following command:
gcloud help config
You can see that the gcloud config --help and gcloud help config commands are equivalent. Both give long, detailed help.
gcloud Global Flags govern the behavior of commands on a per-invocation level. Flags override any values set in SDK properties.

Your compute zone is an approximate regional location in which your clusters and their resources live. For example, us-central1-a is a zone in the us-central1 region.
Start a new session in Cloud Shell and run the following command to set your default compute zone to us-central1-a:
gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a
You receive the following output:
Updated property [compute/zone]. Creating a Kubernetes Engine cluster A cluster consists of at least one cluster master machine and multiple worker machines called nodes. Nodes are Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances that run the Kubernetes processes necessary to make them part of the cluster.
To create a cluster, run the following command, replacing [CLUSTER-NAME] with the name you choose for the cluster (for example my-cluster). Cluster names must start with a letter, end with an alphanumeric, and cannot be longer than 40 characters.
gcloud container clusters create [CLUSTER-NAME]
You can ignore any warnings in the output. It might take several minutes to finish creating the cluster. Soon after you should receive a similar output:

After creating your cluster, you need to get authentication credentials to interact with the cluster.
To authenticate the cluster run the following command, replacing [CLUSTER-NAME] with the name of your cluster:
gcloud container clusters get-credentials [CLUSTER-NAME]
You should receive a similar output:
Fetching cluster endpoint and auth data.
kubeconfig entry generated for my-cluster.
Now that you have created a cluster, you can deploy a containerized application to it. For this lab you'll run hello-app in your cluster.
Kubernetes Engine uses Kubernetes objects to create and manage your cluster's resources. Kubernetes provides the Deployment object for deploying stateless applications like web servers. Service objects define rules and load balancing for accessing your application from the Internet.
Run the following kubectl create command in Cloud Shell to create a new Deployment hello-server from the hello-appcontainer image:
kubectl create deployment hello-server --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0
You should receive the following output:
deployment.apps/hello-server created
This Kubernetes command creates a Deployment object that represents hello-server. In this case, --image specifies a container image to deploy. The command pulls the example image from a Google Container Registry bucket. gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:1.0 indicates the specific image version to pull. If a version is not specified, the latest version is used.
Now create a Kubernetes Service, which is a Kubernetes resource that lets you expose your application to external traffic, by running the following kubectl expose command:
kubectl expose deployment hello-server --type=LoadBalancer --port 8080
In this command:
--port specifiesthe port that the container exposes.type="LoadBalancer"creates a Compute Engine load balancer for your container. You should receive the following output:
service/hello-server exposed
Inspect the hello-server Service by running kubectl get:
kubectl get
You should receive a similar output:
Note: It might take a minute for an external IP address to be generated. Run the above command again if the EXTERNAL-IP column is in "pending" status.
From this command's output, copy the Service's external IP address from the EXTERNAL IP column.
View the application from your web browser using the external IP address with the exposed port:
http://[EXTERNAL-IP]:8080
Your page should resemble the following:
Run the following to delete the cluster:
gcloud container clusters delete [CLUSTER-NAME]
When prompted, type Y to confirm. Deleting the cluster can take a few minutes. For more information on deleted Google Kubernetes Engine clusters, view the documentation.

In Cloud Shell, set the default zone:
gcloud config set compute/zone us-central1-a
Set the default region:
gcloud config set compute/region us-central1
To simulate serving from a cluster of machines, create a simple cluster of Nginx web servers to serve static content using Instance Templates and Managed Instance Groups. Instance Templates define the look of every virtual machine in the cluster (disk, CPUs, memory, etc). Managed Instance Groups instantiate a number of virtual machine instances using the Instance Template.
To create the Nginx web server clusters, create the following:
- A startup script to be used by every virtual machine instance to setup Nginx server upon startup
- An instance template to use the startup script
- A target pool
- A managed instance group using the instance template
Still in Cloud Shell, create a startup script to be used by every virtual machine instance. This script sets up the Nginx server upon startup:
cat << EOF > startup.sh
#! /bin/bash
apt-get update
apt-get install -y nginx
service nginx start
sed -i -- 's/nginx/Google Cloud Platform - '"\$HOSTNAME"'/' /var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html
EOF
Create an instance template, which uses the startup script:
gcloud compute instance-templates create nginx-template \
--metadata-from-file startup-script=startup.sh
(Output)
Created [...].
NAME MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE CREATION_TIMESTAMP
nginx-template n1-standard-1 2015-11-09T08:44:59.007-08:00
Create a target pool. A target pool allows a single access point to all the instances in a group and is necessary for load balancing in the future steps.
gcloud compute target-pools create nginx-pool
(Output)
Created [...].
NAME REGION SESSION_AFFINITY BACKUP HEALTH_CHECKS
nginx-pool us-central1
Create a managed instance group using the instance template:
gcloud compute instance-groups managed create nginx-group \
--base-instance-name nginx \
--size 2 \
--template nginx-template \
--target-pool nginx-pool
(Output)
Created [...].
NAME LOCATION SCOPE BASE_INSTANCE_NAME SIZE TARGET_SIZE INSTANCE_TEMPLATE AUTOSCALED
nginx-group us-central1-a zone nginx 0 2 nginx-template no
This creates 2 virtual machine instances with names that are prefixed with nginx-. This may take a couple of minutes.
List the compute engine instances and you should see all of the instances created:
gcloud compute instances list
(Output)
NAME ZONE MACHINE_TYPE PREEMPTIBLE INTERNAL_IP EXTERNAL_IP STATUS
nginx-7wvi us-central1-a n1-standard-1 10.240.X.X X.X.X.X RUNNING
nginx-9mwd us-central1-a n1-standard-1 10.240.X.X X.X.X.X RUNNING
Now configure a firewall so that you can connect to the machines on port 80 via the EXTERNAL_IP addresses:
gcloud compute firewall-rules create www-firewall --allow tcp:80
You should be able to connect to each of the instances via their external IP addresses via http://EXTERNAL_IP/ shown as the result of running the previous command.
Network load balancing allows you to balance the load of your systems based on incoming IP protocol data, such as address, port, and protocol type. You also get some options that are not available, with HTTP(S) load balancing. For example, you can load balance additional TCP/UDP-based protocols such as SMTP traffic. And if your application is interested in TCP-connection-related characteristics, network load balancing allows your app to inspect the packets, where HTTP(S) load balancing does not.
Create an L4 network load balancer targeting your instance group:
gcloud compute forwarding-rules create nginx-lb \
--region us-central1 \
--ports=80 \
--target-pool nginx-pool
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
List all Compute Engine forwarding rules in your project.
gcloud compute forwarding-rules list
(Output)
NAME REGION IP_ADDRESS IP_PROTOCOL TARGET
nginx-lb us-central1 X.X.X.X TCP us-central1/targetPools/nginx-pool
You can then visit the load balancer from the browser http://IP_ADDRESS/ where IP_ADDRESS is the address shown as the result of running the previous command.
HTTP(S) load balancing provides global load balancing for HTTP(S) requests destined for your instances. You can configure URL rules that route some URLs to one set of instances and route other URLs to other instances. Requests are always routed to the instance group that is closest to the user, provided that group has enough capacity and is appropriate for the request. If the closest group does not have enough capacity, the request is sent to the closest group that does have capacity.
First, create a health check. Health checks verify that the instance is responding to HTTP or HTTPS traffic:
gcloud compute http-health-checks create http-basic-check
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
NAME HOST PORT REQUEST_PATH
http-basic-check 80 /
Define an HTTP service and map a port name to the relevant port for the instance group. Now the load balancing service can forward traffic to the named port:
gcloud compute instance-groups managed \
set-named-ports nginx-group \
--named-ports http:80
(Output)
Updated [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
Create a backend service:
gcloud compute backend-services create nginx-backend \
--protocol HTTP --http-health-checks http-basic-check --global
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
NAME BACKENDS PROTOCOL
nginx-backend HTTP
Add the instance group into the backend service:
gcloud compute backend-services add-backend nginx-backend \
--instance-group nginx-group \
--instance-group-zone us-central1-a \
--global
(Output)
Updated [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
Create a default URL map that directs all incoming requests to all your instances:
gcloud compute url-maps create web-map \
--default-service nginx-backend
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
NAME DEFAULT_SERVICE
Web-map nginx-backend
Create a target HTTP proxy to route requests to your URL map:
gcloud compute target-http-proxies create http-lb-proxy \
--url-map web-map
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
NAME URL_MAP
http-lb-proxy web-map
Create a global forwarding rule to handle and route incoming requests. A forwarding rule sends traffic to a specific target HTTP or HTTPS proxy depending on the IP address, IP protocol, and port specified. The global forwarding rule does not support multiple ports.
gcloud compute forwarding-rules create http-content-rule \
--global \
--target-http-proxy http-lb-proxy \
--ports 80
(Output)
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/...].
After creating the global forwarding rule, it can take several minutes for your configuration to propagate.
gcloud compute forwarding-rules list
(Output)
NAME REGION IP_ADDRESS IP_PROTOCOL TARGET
http-content-rule X.X.X.X TCP http-lb-proxy
nginx-lb us-central1 X.X.X.X TCP us-central1/....
Take note of the http-content-rule IP_ADDRESS for the forwarding rule.
From the browser, you should be able to connect to http://IP_ADDRESS/. It may take three to five minutes. If you do not connect, wait a minute then reload the browser.
You have started a new role as a Junior Cloud Engineer for Jooli Inc. You are expected to help manage the infrastructure at Jooli. Common tasks include provisioning resources for projects.
You are expected to have the skills and knowledge for these tasks, so don't expect step-by-step guides to be provided.
Some Jooli Inc. standards you should follow:
Create all resources in the default region or zone, unless otherwise directed. Naming is normally team-resource, e.g. an instance could be named nucleus-webserver1 Allocate cost effective resource sizes. Projects are monitored and excessive resource use will result in the containing project's termination (and possibly yours), so beware. This is the guidance the monitoring team is willing to share; unless directed use f1-micro for small Linux VMs and n1-standard-1 for Windows or other applications such as Kubernetes nodes. Your challenge As soon as you sit down at your desk and open your new laptop you receive several requests from the Nucleus team. Read through each description, then create the resources.
We will use this instance to perform maintenance for the project.
Make sure you:
name the instance nucleus-jumphost
use the machine type of f1-micro
use the default image type (Debian Linux)
gcloud compute instances create nucleus-jumphost \
--network nucleus-vpc \
--zone us-east1-b \
--machine-type f1-micro \
--image-family debian-9 \
--image-project debian-cloud \
--scopes cloud-platform \
--no-address

You have a limit to the resources you are allowed to create in your project, if you don't get the result you expected please delete the cluster before you create another cluster or the lab might exit and you might get banned.
The team is building an application that will use a service. This service will run on Kubernetes. You need to:
- Create a cluster (in the us-east1-b zone) to host the service
- Use the Docker container hello-app (
gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0) as a place holder, the team will replace the container with their own work later - Expose the app on port 8080
Create a Kubernetes service cluster
gcloud config set compute/zone us-east1-b
gcloud container clusters create nucleus-webserver1
gcloud container clusters get-credentials nucleus-webserver1
kubectl create deployment hello-app --image=gcr.io/google-samples/hello-app:2.0
kubectl expose deployment hello-app --type=LoadBalancer --port 8080
kubectl get service
We will serve the site via nginx web servers, but we want to ensure we have a fault tolerant environment, so please create an HTTP load balancer with a managed instance group of two nginx web servers. Use the following to configure the web servers, the team will replace this with their own configuration later.
You have a limit to the resources you are allowed to create in your project, so do not create more than two instances in your managed instance group or the lab might exit and you might get banned.
