Create VM

Estimated reading: 2 minutes

This component automatically deploys new instances in Google Cloud based on specified configurations such as machine type, zone, image, and network settings.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
Service Account JSON Path	The file path or reference to the Google Cloud service account key (JSON format) used for authentication.
VM Name	The name of the virtual machine to be created or deleted within the Google Cloud project.
Zone	The target Google Cloud zone where the VM will be deployed (e.g., us-central1-a).
Project ID	The unique Google Cloud project identifier under which the VM instance will be managed.
Machine Type	Defines the compute resources for the VM, including CPU and memory (e.g., n1-standard-1).
Disk Size	Specifies the boot disk size (in GB) for the virtual machine.
Image Project	The Google Cloud project that hosts the base image used to create the VM (e.g., debian-cloud).
Image Family	The image family name that defines which OS image to use when creating the VM (e.g., debian-11).
Network (Self Link or Name)	The network configuration for the VM. You can provide either the network’s self link or its name.
Attach External IP	Specifies whether to assign a public external IP address to the VM.
Delay Before	Specifies the time (in milliseconds) to wait before executing the activity or component.
Delay After	Specifies the time (in milliseconds) to wait after completing the activity or component execution.
Continue on Error	Determines whether the workflow should proceed if the current activity encounters an error. Stop Workflow – Immediately halts the workflow execution when an error occurs. Continue – Skips the failed activity and proceeds with the next step in the workflow. Continue Using Error Output – Allows the workflow to continue while capturing the error details as part of the output. This mode enables advanced handling scenarios where the error message or code is required for downstream actions, logging, or conditional flows.
Retry	Specifies the number of times the system should automatically retry the activity if it fails during execution.
