Chapter 6
Managing Virtual Machines
THIS CHAPTER COVERS THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES OF THE GOOGLE ASSOCIATE CLOUD ENGINEER CERTIFICATION EXAM:
4.1 Managing Compute Engine resources
After creating virtual machines, a cloud engineer will need to work with both single instances of virtual machines (VMs) and groups of VMs that run the same configuration. The latter are called instance groups and are introduced in this chapter.
This chapter begins with a description of common management tasks and how to complete them in the console, followed by a description of how to complete them in Cloud Shell or with the Cloud SDK command line. Next, you will learn how to configure and manage instance groups. The chapter concludes with a discussion of guidelines for managing VMs.
