Summary

The GCE is a GCP core service, offering a wide variety of scalable VMs based on different OSes. The multiplicity of available OSes, the range of machines with CPUs, GPUs, small to huge disk space, and RAM make the GCE a powerful Cloud environment adapted to a wide variety of projects and contexts.

In this chapter you learned:

How to create, launch, back up, modify, and access multiple VMs
The different parameters and variables related to a VM
How to access and use the Google Shell
How to use the gcloud CLI to carry out the same operations in the GCP
How to install a data science Python stack
How to launch a Jupyter Notebook

There are many more possibilities offered by the power and flexibility of the GCE that we haven't covered. Hopefully, by the end of this chapter, you should feel comfortable working with instances that are appropriate for your projects in a data...
