- Find out how to stop a VM in GCP using
gcloud.
For this refer to the gcloud documentation:
For instance my-instance in zone europe-west6-a use the following command:
gcloud compute instances stop my-instance --zone=europe-west6-a
- Write a shell script that:
- creates a new GCP project
- adds it to a billing account (optional)
- enables the GCP Compute Engine
- creates a service account
- provisions a VM using the service account
- copies the postinstall script to the VM and then runs it
See exercise2.sh.
- Modify the postinstall script so that the Tezos node runs on mainnet
Change NET=nairobinet to NET=mainnet in postinstall.sh.
- Modify your script from 2 to setup 3 nodes - one in USA, one in Europe and one in Japan.
See exercise4.sh.
- Although we set up our original server to allow connections on 9732 for the Tezos Gossip network, the GCP firewall will prevent the connections. How do you add a rule to allow it?
This is another question where you need to read the document but it will be harder for a beginner. Here is the command:
gcloud compute --project=your-project-id firewall-rules create \
tezos-gossip-port --direction=INGRESS --priority=1000 \
--network=default --action=ALLOW --rules=tcp:9732 \
--source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0
