Startup scripts in GCP deployment manager

Question

I was trying to deploy a vm-instance inside the GCP, and need to execute some commands inside it. Kindly let us know if there is any possibility to add as a script in GCP.

Answer 1

There are two ways to run these pre-configured scripts:

Using with Boot disc

Create a VM normally and capture the image after adding all configurations, Then you can use the image for launching multiple instances. Which will be loaded with your script.

Using Startup file uploaded in Google Drive

Here, you need to upload the startup file and access that file and read the content of it. For implementation information, click here.
