Goggle cloud Compute instances

We will create a cumpute instance that could be used as a remote working station.

IMPORTANT

Be on the right GCP account! DO NOT CREATE instances on a WRONG account!

Before you begin

Set up GCP

  • Create a project
  • Enable billing on the project
  • Enable Compute Engine API for more details see link

Initialize the gcloud SDK

Execute the gcloud init command

If you dont have gcloud installed, use the official guide

Configure the GCP Provider

To configure the provider execute the following command

gcloud auth application-default login

for more details see link

  • Run terraform plan to check the previous configurations

Create an SSH key pair to access the instance

This ssh key will be used to access the instance.

If you don't already have an ssh key to use with this instance create a new one

mkdir ~/.ssh/<USER_NAME>
ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/<USER_NAME>/<USER_NAME>_gci_access_key -C <USER_NAME> -b 2048

Create an SSH key pair to let the instance access Github

The instance will use this ssh key to access the github with it.

If you don't already have an ssh key to use with this instance create a new one

mkdir ~/.ssh/<USER_NAME>
ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/<USER_NAME>/<USER_NAME>_gci_github_key -C "<USER_NAME>@example.com"

Terraform Variables

The available variables can be seen in the terraform/variable.tf file. There are some with default values.

All the possible variables could be defined in the a terraform/terraform.tfvars file.

Terraforming

Execute terraform plan and or terraform apply to check and deploy the terraform plan.
