Google Cloud Platform Cookbook

Deploying the application on GCP

To deploy the application to GCP, we'll first upload the working code from our development machine to Google Source Repositories. Then, instead of setting up the VM manually, we'll modify and use a start up script provided by Google to bootstrap the VM with the necessary packages and a runnable application. Finally, we'll create the VM with the bootstrap script and configure the firewall rules so that the application is accessible from the internet.
