How to use GCP images with Alpaquita Linux
Create an instance with CLI using gcloud command
Users can create an VM instance from the Alpaquita image on GCP using gcloud CLI tool:
gcloud compute instances create <instance_name> \
--machine-type=<machine_type> \
--zone=<zone> \
--image-project=alpaquita-cloud \
--image-family=<image_family>
--project=<your_project>Note: You can use --image-family=<image_family> instead of --image=<image> to create an instance from the latest image in a image family, without specifying the image name explicitly. This might be useful for scripting and programmatically creating an instance from the latest image of an image family.
Please see the documentations at GCP for more information: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/create-start-instance#create-instance-methods
List available Alpaquita images
Users can create an VM instance from the Alpaquita image on GCP using gcloud CLI tool:
gcloud compute images list --no-standard-images --project=alpaquita-cloudExample output:
$ gcloud compute images list --no-standard-images --project=alpaquita-cloud
