# 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**.

3. Search for "VyOS" in the Marketplace.
4. Configure the deployment name, zone, and machine type, then click **Deploy**.

5. After a few seconds, select your **instance**.

6. Note your external IP address.

:::
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:~$
```
