GCP Compute Instance

A GCP Compute Instance represents a virtual machine running on Google’s Compute Engine. It encapsulates the VM’s configuration (machine type, metadata, startup scripts, service accounts, etc.), its network interfaces, and any attached storage. For full details see the Google Cloud documentation: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances

Possible Links​

ip​

Each network interface on a Compute Instance is assigned one or more internal or external IP addresses. These IP resources are discovered separately and linked to the instance so you can trace which IPs will be allocated when the VM is created.

gcp-compute-disk​

A Compute Instance can have one boot disk and multiple additional persistent disks attached. These disk resources are linked to the instance, allowing you to understand which storage volumes will be mounted and the impact of changes to them.
