Overview

In this section, you will learn how to provision a Google Axion C4A Arm virtual machine on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the c4a-standard-4 (4 vCPUs, 16 GB memory) machine type in the Google Cloud Console.

Note

For support on GCP setup, see the Learning Path Getting started with Google Cloud Platform .

Create your Google Axion C4A Arm virtual machine

To create a virtual machine based on the C4A instance type:

  • Navigate to the Google Cloud Console .

  • Go to Compute Engine > VM Instances and select Create Instance.

  • Under Machine configuration:

    • Populate fields such as Instance name, Region, and Zone.
    • Set Series to C4A.
    • Select c4a-standard-4 for machine type.

  • Under OS and Storage, select Change, then choose an Arm64-based OS image. For this Learning Path, use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server.

  • If using SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, select Pay As You Go for the license type.

  • Once appropriately selected, select Select.

  • Under Networking, enable Allow HTTP traffic.

  • Select Create to launch the instance.

  • Once created, you should see an SSH option to the right in your list of VM instances. Select this to launch an SSH shell into your VM instance:
