Hi@akhtar,

You can compute service in GCP to launch one instance from the command line. When you will launch one instance, you can provide the network name and other parameters. Otherwise, it will take the default service as shown below.

$ gcloud compute instances create instance-name 
Created [https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/nadeem-gcp-123456/zones/australia-southeast1-b/instances/instance-name].
NAME           ZONE                    MACHINE_TYPE   PREEMPTIBLE  INTERNAL_IP  EXTERNAL_IP   STATUS
instance-name  australia-southeast1-b  n1-standard-1               10.152.0.3   35.201.6.115  RUNNING
