The right answer for a given team in a certain circumstance won’t necessarily apply to another team in a slightly different circumstance. “It depends” is the only…

Let’s Build A Windows Virtual Machine

In Google Cloud, creating a VM is done with the Compute Engine service. There’s a short (about 5 minutes) interactive tutorial to get you started. I’ll explain what’s going on in that tutorial here, but you should walk through the tutorial as well to…
