Question

I have created an instance template to use for running containers on compute engine, How do I specify the container configuration so that it runs in the previlaged mode using the Google Cloud Platform Console?

Answer 1

You can run a container in privileged mode to allow access to all devices on the host. 

Containers are run as "unprivileged" by default and are not allowed to access any devices.

1. Go to the VM instances page.

2. Click the Create instance button to create a new instance.

3. Under the Container section, check Deploy container image.

4. Click Advanced container options.

5. Check Run as privileged.
