compute engine guides send feedback create and start a compute engine instance stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences compute engine lets you create and run instances on google infrastructure this document shows how to create a compute engine instance the terms compute engine instance compute instance or instance are synonymous based on the machine type that you specify an instance can be either a bare metal instance or a virtual machine vm instance as follows if the name of its machine type ends in metal an instance is a bare metal instance which does not have a hypervisor installed otherwise an instance is a vm instance the terms virtual machine instance vm instance and vm are synonymous synonymous terms are used interchangeably across the documentation and google cloud interfaces such as the google cloud console the gcloud command line tool and the rest api the instructions in this document only introduce you to instance creation and provide a starting point for creating an instance for detailed steps on how to create instances with specific or complicated configurations see instead the create and start instances with specific
