3. Overview of Google
Developers Console

4. Google Developers Console
● First, Create your own Project

5. Google Developers Console
● Create Project

6. Google Developers Console
● Projects Overview
Production list
Your Project ID and number
Monitor of your
usage amount

Compute Engine

10. Google Compute Engine
● Resource Quotas
○ Resource quotas describe the default quota for each
resource on a per-project basis. Each Google
Developers Console project is subject to default
quotas on the number of resources that a project
can have.

11. Google Compute Engine
Each project is subject to the following Google Compute
Engine global resource limits:
● Networks: 5
● Firewalls: 100
● Images: 100
● Snapshots: 5000
● Routes: 100
● Forwarding Rules: 50
● Target Pools: 50
● Health Checks: 50
● SSD Persistent Disk: 1TB

12. Google Compute Engine
Each region within a project is subject to the following
regional quotas:
● CPUs: 24
● Maximum total aggregate disk space: 5TB
● In-use IP addresses (both ephemeral and reserved): 23
● Reserved IP addresses: 7

13. Google Compute Engine
● You can change your quota if resource is not enough

14. Google Compute Engine

15. Google Compute Engine
● Create New Instance
○ Zone : Determine what computing resources are available and
where your data is stored and used.

16. Google Compute Engine
● Create New Instance
○ Networking :
■ Network - tracffic rule (Firewall and Routes)
■ External IP (Ephemeral / Staic IP)
■ IP Forwarding (Disabled / Enabled)
○ Machine Type
○ Boot Source
■ image
■ disk
■ snapshot

18. Google Cloud SDK -
gcutil

19. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil
1. 下載Google Cloud SDK

20. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil
2. 安裝Google Cloud SDK，可參考安裝指南：
https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/#Quick_Start
3. 認證您的Cloud SDK :
$ gcloud auth login

21. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil
4. 上面指令執行完後，系統會打開瀏覽器進到下面的認證畫
面：

22. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil
5. 設定您的project
$ gcloud config set project <project>
6. 測試
$ gcutil

23. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil

24. Google Cloud SDK - gcutil
● Create a Instance (using gcutil):
$gcutil addinstance instance-name
--zone=asia-east1-a
--machine_type=f1-micro
--image=centos-6-v20140619
--wait_until_running

25. Startup Script

26. Startup Script
● You can choose to specify a startup script
that will run when your instance boots up or
restarts.

27. Startup Script
● Example - Create an instance with a running
apache server

28. Startup Script
Step 1. Prepare you script :

29. Startup Script
Step 2. Create an instance and put your script
to instance’s metadata(use gcutil) :
$gcutil addinstance apache-server
--zone=asia-east1-a
--machine_type=f1-micro
--image=centos-6-v20140619 --wait_until_running
--tags=http-server
--metadata_from_file=startup-script:apache.sh

30. Startup Script
Step 3. Enter instance’s ip in your browser

31. Backup

32. Backup
● Disk - Use ‘dd’ command
(http://linux.vbird.org/linux_basic/0240tarcompress.php)
● Snapshot
● Image - Use gcimagebundle

33. Backup
● Snapshot

34. Backup
● Image - backup
○ Step 1. 在客製好的主機上做打包的動作
$ sudo gcimagebundle -d /dev/sda -o /tmp/ --log_file=/tmp/abc.log
○ Step 2. 傳送到google cloud storage
$ gsutil cp /tmp/XXX.image.tar.gz gs://arecord-customise-images

35. Backup
● Image - restore
○ 將image加到Google的image collection中，之後就可
以在web console中看到自己的image了
$ gcutil addimage test-image gs://arecord-customise-images/XXX.image.tar.gz

36. VPN service on
Google

37. OpenVPN on Google
Internet
Fire wall
GCE private network
VPN Server
Client 1
Client 2
VPN Tunnel

38. OpenVPN on Google
● Install OpenVPN: http://openvpn.net/index.
php/open-source/documentation/install.html?start=1
● The location of VPN image: gs://mitac-image-
bucket/demo/openvpn-standalone-v20140701.tar.gz

39. Feature
● New features release in Google I/O
a. Advance Monitor
b. Flow Service
