@google-cloud/compute

What is @google-cloud/compute?

@google-cloud/compute is an npm package that provides a client library for interacting with Google Cloud Compute Engine. It allows developers to manage virtual machine instances, networks, firewalls, and other resources on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

What are @google-cloud/compute's main functionalities?

Create a VM instance

This code sample demonstrates how to create a new VM instance in Google Cloud Compute Engine using the @google-cloud/compute package.

const {InstancesClient} = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new InstancesClient();

async function createInstance() {
  const [response] = await compute.insert({
    project: 'your-project-id',
    zone: 'us-central1-a',
    instanceResource: {
      name: 'instance-name',
      machineType: 'zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/n1-standard-1',
      disks: [
        {
          boot: true,
          initializeParams: {
            sourceImage: 'projects/debian-cloud/global/images/family/debian-10'
          }
        }
      ],
      networkInterfaces: [
        {
          network: 'global/networks/default'
        }
      ]
    }
  });
  console.log('Instance created:', response);
}

createInstance().catch(console.error);

List VM instances

This code sample demonstrates how to list all VM instances in a specific zone using the @google-cloud/compute package.

const {InstancesClient} = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new InstancesClient();

async function listInstances() {
  const [instances] = await compute.list({
    project: 'your-project-id',
    zone: 'us-central1-a'
  });
  console.log('Instances:', instances);
}

listInstances().catch(console.error);

Delete a VM instance

This code sample demonstrates how to delete a VM instance in Google Cloud Compute Engine using the @google-cloud/compute package.

const {InstancesClient} = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new InstancesClient();

async function deleteInstance() {
  const [response] = await compute.delete({
    project: 'your-project-id',
    zone: 'us-central1-a',
    instance: 'instance-name'
  });
  console.log('Instance deleted:', response);
}

deleteInstance().catch(console.error);

Other packages similar to @google-cloud/compute

aws-sdk

The aws-sdk package is the official AWS SDK for JavaScript, which allows developers to interact with various AWS services, including EC2 for managing virtual machine instances. It provides similar functionalities to @google-cloud/compute but for Amazon Web Services.

azure-arm-compute

The azure-arm-compute package is the Azure SDK for managing compute resources in Microsoft Azure. It provides functionalities to manage virtual machines, disks, and other compute resources on Azure, similar to what @google-cloud/compute offers for Google Cloud Platform.
