Create Instance
gcloud compute instances create web-server \
--machine-type=e2-medium \
--zone=us-central1-a \
--image-family=debian-11 \
--image-project=debian-cloud \
--boot-disk-size=20GB \
--tags=http-server
# Create from instance template
gcloud compute instance-templates create web-template \
--machine-type=e2-medium \
--image-family=debian-11 \
--image-project=debian-cloud
gcloud compute instance-groups managed create web-group \
--template=web-template \
--size=3 \
--zone=us-central1-a
Best Practices
- Use managed instance groups
- Implement preemptible VMs for cost savings
- Use custom images for consistency
- Enable shielded VMs
