Two ways to access VPS from google cloud

- First, create an SSH key with Puttygen first then click on the Generate button.

After finishing SSH Key in the Comment key, you need to add the following content.

+ Key: this is the Public Key and you need to copy this encrypted string to give to Google
+ Key comment: You use the user that you registered to access VPS and google always use your email address as a direct user and the rest is External IP of VPS.

+ Key Passphrase: You can create more secure and can not create it.

Finally, you save the Private Key by pressing the Save Private key button to use for Putty.

Next, you copy the Public key to Google Cloud. To do that, go to Metadata -> SSH key -> Edit. Click Add Item, paste the Public key then save and then the key addition process on google.

Return to the PC, open the Putty section to enter parameters.
+ Hostname or ip address: External IP of VPS
+ Go to Auth, select the newly created Private key Test.ppk and click Open button to connect SSH.
+ Black screen appears and you enter the user is finished.
