Prerequisites
To get the most from this course, you should have some exposure to GCP resources, such as VCPs, VM Instances, Cloud Console, and Cloud Shell. However, this is not essential.
Hi, everyone, welcome back. Since we just finished working with a Linux VM in our last lesson, I wanted to quickly show you how to connect to such a Linux VM instance using SSH through the GCP console. To SSH to a Linux instance from the console, browse to the VM Instances page, and then from the instances page, click SSH next to the VM you want to connect to.
When you connect to a Linux instance for the first time, Compute Engine generates an SSH key pair for you. This key pair, by default, is added to your project or instance metadata. However, if your account is configured to use OS login, Compute Engine stores the key with your user account. Once you've connected to your Linux instance, you can use the terminal to run commands on the instance like you would any other Linux VM. To disconnect from your instance, just use the exit command. And that is how you SSH to a Linux instance through the GCP console on Google Cloud Platform.
