Google Cloud Platform

Deploy VM

To deploy VyOS on GCP (Google Cloud Platform)

  1. Generate SSH key pair type ssh-rsa from the host that will connect to VyOS.

Example:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/vyos_gcp -C "vyos@mypc"

Note

In name “vyos@mypc” The first value must be “vyos”. Because default user is vyos and google api uses this option.

  1. Open GCP console and navigate to the menu Metadata. Choose SSH Keys and click edit.
