Take Full Control of AI Notebook Instance on GCP via Putty
access GCP VM instance via Putty for cloud computing
AI notebook instance on GCP runs on a VM instance. If we can access the VM instance via Putty, we can then have full control of the VM instance through Linux commands. In this post, I am going to walk through how to set up access to the AI notebook instance on GCP via Putty.
1. Start the VM instance.
One way to start an AI notebook instance is to use the GCP cloud console. The AI notebook instance runs on a VM instance with the same name. Another way is to use “gcloud SDK,” which I manage from ‘Windows Terminal.’ (My other post on why you shall use ‘windows Terminal’). The command to start the VM instance is:
gcloud compute instances start INSTANCE-NAME2. Add an external IP address to the VM instance on GCP.
From the Navigation Menu in the GCP cloud console, you can navigate to the Compute Engine (GCE) list as below:
Click the three-dot icon on the most right side of the selected GCE VM instance, select ‘view network details’ to navigate to the following VPC network…
