First login to google cloud or you can also use google cloud skill boost account. I will be doing my labs on google cloud skill boost.

Start the lab.

Login to the Cloud by entering your credentials.

Now, go to Compute Engine.

Name the instance as per your choice and select the region. Here, we can select any region but prefer which is located near to your location as pricing will vary according to that.

Then, click on create.
