Comments on How to create a Virtual Machine (VM) on Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Good information. I have created VM on GCP by following this tutorial and did not faced any problem!

Thanks Ajinkya

Hi. I'm having issues with GCP. I created virtual machine with program always free that allows you to have a virtual machine with a cpu f1 600Mhz processor, 600MB RAM and 30GB of disk space if you create it in some regions, I created in oregon and checked with Google Cloud Calculator for possible charges but there weren't. Recently I checked disk space in my virtual machine and I hadn't 30Gb of disk space as it was asigned in boot disk, /root only had around 9GB and it was at 95% of usage, is it because I chose a Google Cloud Platform image? Should I have chosen a operative system iso to install it and customize it in the installation? I like the Google Cloud Platform image because it comes with Security Enhanced enabled and doesn't seem to conflict with any package installation although I had a issue with mysql boot and disabled and enabled se and ssh stopped working. I have contacted with free trial google cloud support but I'm not very sure they are going to help me because my product is always free which is different. Where I was working time ago there was a pxe and kickstarter where you could choose image and set partitions sizes, I don't understand why google doens't allow to do the same unless I have done something wrong.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Finally it seems storage missing is deployed, I checked it after GCP support replied me to run fdisk -l, so I think I will be able to assign left GB probably not assigned during image deployment.

Regards and thanks for the tutorial

Very helpful
