Google Compute Engine Operators

Prerequisite Tasks

ComputeEngineInsertInstanceOperator

Use the ComputeEngineInsertInstanceOperator to create new Google Compute Engine instance.

Using the operator

The code to create the operator:

tests/system/providers/google/cloud/compute/example_compute.py[source]
