Get the list of images:

% gcloud compute images list | egrep 'NAME|centos'
NAME                                                  PROJECT              FAMILY                            DEPRECATED  STATUS
centos-7-v20210512                                    centos-cloud         centos-7                                      READY
centos-8-v20210512                                    centos-cloud         centos-8                                      READY
centos-stream-8-v20210512                             centos-cloud         centos-stream-8                               READY


create

Create main.tf with the following content:

resource "google_compute_instance" "default" {
  project = "YOUR_PROJECT_ID"

  name = "instance-1"
  zone = "us-central1-a"
  machine_type = "e2-micro"

  boot_disk {
    initialize_params {
      image = "centos-cloud/centos-7"
    }
  }

  network_interface {
    network       = "default"
    access_config {}
  }

  tags = ["http-server", "https-server"]
}
Run the terraform commands to create an instance.
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply


ssh

You can ssh into the server using gloud

gcloud compute ssh instance-1

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/connecting-to-instance#gcloud


setup apache & cleanup

The remaining steps are same as https://web-quickstart.blogspot.com/2021/05/google-compute-engine-create-apache.html

1. install apache

2. access the server over http

3. destroy instance
