+# Google Cloud Platform
+
+## Deploy VM
+
+To deploy VyOS on Google Cloud Platform (GCP):
+
+1. Generate an SSH key pair of type **ssh-rsa** on the host that will connect
+ to VyOS.
+
+ Example:
+
+ ```none
+ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/vyos_gcp -C "vyos@mypc"
+ ```
+
+:::{note}
+The SSH key comment must begin with `vyos@` because that's the
+default VyOS user. GCP uses this value to set the username on the instance.
+:::
+
+2. Open the GCP Console and navigate to **Metadata**. Select **SSH Keys** and
+ click **Edit**.
+
+:::{figure} /_static/images/cloud-gcp-01.webp
+Click **Add item**, paste your public SSH key, and click **Save**.
+:::
+
+:::{figure} /_static/images/cloud-gcp-02.webp
+:::
+
+3. Search for "VyOS" in the Marketplace.
+4. Configure the deployment name, zone, and machine type, then click **Deploy**.
+
+:::{figure} /_static/images/cloud-gcp-03.webp
+:::
+
+5. After a few seconds, select your **instance**.
+
+:::{figure} /_static/images/cloud-gcp-04.webp
+:::
+
+6. Note your external IP address.
+
+:::{figure} /_static/images/cloud-gcp-05.webp
+:::
+
+7. Connect to the instance using the SSH key you generated in step 1.
+
+```none
+ssh -i ~/.ssh/vyos_gcp vyos@203.0.113.3
+vyos@vyos-r1-vm:~$
+```
