Quickstart
Before you begin
- Select or create a Cloud Platform project.
- Enable billing for your project.
- Enable the Google Compute Engine API.
- Set up authentication with a service account so you can access the API from your local workstation.
Installing the client library
npm install @google-cloud/compute
Using the client library
// Imports the Google Cloud client library
const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
// Creates a client
const compute = new Compute();
async function quickstart() {
// Create a new VM using the latest OS image of your choice.
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-c');
// TODO(developer): choose a name for the VM
// const vmName = 'vm-name';
// Start the VM create task
const [vm, operation] = await zone.createVM(vmName, {os: 'ubuntu'});
console.log(vm);
// `operation` lets you check the status of long-running tasks.
await operation.promise();
// Complete!
console.log('Virtual machine created!');
}
quickstart();
