Using JupyterLab from Google Cloud

I have been using fast.ai library for some kaggle competitions lately, and I recently found that you could connect to the Compute Engine instance from within the browser and have jupyterlab forwarded to your computer without any setup.

Let’s asume you already have a virtual machine setup and running (if not, you can check here and here). Get the gcloud command.
