Google Cloud Platform

Deploy VM

To deploy VyOS on Google Cloud Platform (GCP):

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

    Example:

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

Note

The SSH key comment must begin with vyos@ because that’s the default VyOS user. GCP uses this value to set the username on the instance.

  1. Open the GCP Console and navigate to Metadata. Select SSH Keys and click Edit.
