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.
Welcome to Managing Compute Engine Resources. In this section, we're going to cover several Compute Engine management tasks. In this section, you'll learn how to manage VM instances. You'll learn how to start instances, stop them, and how to delete them. You'll also learn how to edit an instance configuration. After working through Compute Engine management, you'll learn how to connect to a VM instance via SSH and via RDP. Next, you'll learn how to add a GPU to an existing VM and how to install the CUDA libraries to support the GPU. After learning about GPUs and CUDA libraries, you'll learn how to view current running VM inventory. We'll then get into snapshots, images, and instance groups. Join me in the next lesson where we'll take a look at VM instance management.
