Deploy VM
---------

To deploy VyOS on GCP (Google Cloud Platform)

1. Generate SSH key pair type **ssh-rsa** from the host that will connect to
   VyOS.

  Example:

  .. code-block:: none

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/vyos_gcp -C "vyos@mypc"


.. note:: For name, type "vyos@mypc" as the first value must be "**vyos**". 
   Because default user is vyos and google api uses this option.


2. Open GCP console and navigate to the menu **Metadata**. Choose
   **SSH Keys** and click ``edit``.

    vyos@vyos-r1-vm:~$
