machine vm instances that have external ip addresses by using ssh keys to learn how to connect to vms that don t have external ip addresses see connection options for internal only vms to learn how to connect to linux vms using ssh certificates see require ssh certificates for os login vms for information about how ssh connections work in compute engine including ssh key configuration and storage see ssh connections to linux vms note when a user connects to a vm that user can use all of the iam permissions granted to the service account attached to the vm before you begin if you haven t already set up authentication authentication verifies your identity for access to google cloud services and apis to run code or samples from a local development environment you can authenticate to compute engine by selecting one of the following options select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page console when you use the google cloud console to access google cloud services and apis you don t need to set up authentication gcloud install the google cloud cli after installation initialize the google cloud cli by running the following command gcloud init if you re using an external identity provider idp you must first sign in to the gcloud cli with your federated identity note if you installed the gcloud cli previously make sure you have the latest version by running gcloud components update set a default region and zone supported operating systems these connection methods are supported for all public linux images that are available on compute engine for fedora coreos images you must set up ssh access before you can use these methods connect to vms to connect to a vm complete the steps in one of the following tabs console connect to vms using ssh in browser from the google cloud console by doing the following in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page go to vm instances in the list of virtual machine instances click ssh in the row of the instance that you want to connect to note when you connect to vms using the google cloud console compute engine creates an ephemeral ssh key for you for more information about ssh keys see ssh connections to linux vms gcloud connect to a vm using ssh by running the gcloud compute ssh command in the google cloud console activate cloud shell activate cloud shell at the bottom of the google cloud console a cloud shell session starts and displays a command line prompt cloud shell is a shell environment with the google cloud cli already installed and with values already set for your current project it can take a few seconds for the session to initialize run the following command gcloud compute ssh project project_id zone zone vm_name replace the following project_id the id of the project that contains the vm zone the name of the zone that the vm is located in vm_name the name of the vm if you have set default properties for the google cloud cli you can omit the project and zone flags from this command for example gcloud compute ssh vm_name note when you connect to vms using the gcloud cli compute engine creates a persistent ssh key for you for more information about ssh keys see ssh connections to linux vms openssh client connect to a vm using ssh from an openssh client do the following add an ssh key to the vm if you haven t already in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page and find the external ip address of the vm that you want to connect to go to vm instances open a terminal on your workstation connect to the vm by running the following command ssh i path_to_private_key username external_ip replace the following path_to_private_key the path to the private ssh key file that corresponds to the public key you added to the vm username your username if you manage your ssh keys in metadata the username is what you specified when you created the ssh key for os login accounts the username is defined in your google profile for example cloudysanfrancisco_example_com or cloudysanfrancisco external_ip the external ip address of the vm putty app connect to a vm using ssh from the windows putty app by doing the following add an ssh key to the vm if you haven t already if your workstation doesn t already have the putty app installed download the putty package files in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page and find the external ip address of the vm that you want to connect to go to vm instances open the putty app a connection configuration window opens in the host name field enter the username associated with the ssh key and the external ip address of the vm that you want to connect to use the following format username external_ip replace the following username your username if you manage your ssh keys in metadata the username is what you specified when you created the ssh key for os login accounts the username is defined in your google profile for example cloudysanfrancisco_example_com or cloudysanfrancisco external_ip the external ip address of the vm in the category menu navigate to connection ssh auth in the private key file for authentication field select the private ssh key file that corresponds to the public key you added to the vm click open to connect to the vm secure shell chrome app to connect to a vm using ssh from the secure shell chrome app do the following add an ssh key to the vm if you haven t already install secure shell on your chromebook or chrome browser if you have not done so already in the google cloud console go to the vm instances page and find the external ip address of the vm that you want to connect to go to vm instances open the secure shell in a chrome browser tab address bar by doing the following type ssh press space press enter click new connection in the username field enter ...
