Is it possible to get past startup scripts in Google Cloud?


I'd like to review some startup scripts that were used with terminated and deleted instances in Google Cloud. Is there a way to get these via gcloud or the GCP console?


Solution

  • For terminated and deleted instances reviewing startup scripts is not possible without using a machine image, as Machine image offers a quick backup of a VM as a whole, in contrast to other features like PD snapshots and custom images.
