Launch a GCP instance

Create an instance running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS using our 'securitymonkey' service account.

Navigate to the Create Instance page. Fill in the following fields:

  • Name: securitymonkey
  • Zone: If using GCP Cloud SQL, select the same zone here. (Zone List)
  • Machine Type: 1vCPU, 3.75GB (minimum; also known as n1-standard-1)
  • Boot Disk: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
  • Service Account: securitymonkey (This is provisioned in the IAM GCP instructions.)
  • Firewall: Allow HTTPS Traffic

Click the Create button to create the instance.

Install gcloud

If you haven't already, install gcloud from the downloads page. gcloud enables you to administer VMs, IAM policies, services and more from the command line.

Connecting to your new instance:

We will connect to the new instance over ssh with the gcloud command:

$ gcloud compute ssh securitymonkey --zone <ZONE>
