Solution overview

This lab walks you through the end-to-end process of standing up foundational GCP infrastructure: you'll create a custom VPC with a user-defined subnet, lock it down with a targeted SSH firewall rule, deploy a Compute Engine VM into that network, and verify connectivity via browser SSH. By following these steps, learners gain hands-on practice in designing network segmentation, enforcing security best practices, provisioning compute resources, and troubleshooting access—all in a consistent, repeatable workflow that mirrors real-world cloud deployments.
