cant connect google instance via RDP


I can't connect my instance after I tried to change "Use the following IP address" in IPv4 settings (Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Ethernet - Properties -> IPv4 Settings) to a specified IP. I've tried to restart from console.cloud.google.com, but still not successful.


Solution

  • you need to stop your virtual machine instance, then you can restart the instance with its original configuration, using the instances().start method. This method boots up a powered-down virtual machine instance that is currently in a TERMINATED state.
