• Cloud interconnect (~ direct connect )
• Cloud Router (~ vpc)
• Cloud Storage (~ S3)
• Firebase Hosting

Compute Engine:

For ssh access, best thing is to enable 'OS Login, check this link

• Best is to use linux from a 'public' image. They have the 'guest environment preinstalled.
• IAM-Admin > Manage resources . Select your project, add member, role 'Owner'. Or we can be more restrictive and add this roles by doing 'add role' and click in 'manage roles'
• Adding-ssh-keys : do it via the cloud shell (top right, command prompt symbol). The command is below (use double quotes to enclose the PubKey).

gcloud compute os-login ssh-keys add –key “….”

TERRAFORM:
/home/jsantosa/.ssh/known_hosts
First install gcp sdk:

cd your-project
python3 -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
tar -xf google-cloud-sdk-352.0.0-linux-x86_64.tar.gz 
./google-cloud-sdk/install.sh    # exit the shell so the .bashrc changes take effect.
deactivate

Now authenticate your project and it will generate a json file that will be used in the tf provider:

gcloud auth application-default login --project <my-project-id-not-name>

Now we define the provider.tf (+ terraform init, terraform plan)

provider "google" {
credentials = "/home/myuser/.config/gcloud/application_default_credentials.json"
project = "my-project-id-not-name"
region = "us-east1"
}
