Windows
I supporti di installazione per le applicazioni Windows vengono spesso forniti come file ISO,
ma Compute Engine non ti consente di esporre un file ISO come unità DVD virtuale a
un'istanza VM.
Per accedere ai contenuti del file ISO su una singola VM Windows, puoi svolgere
una delle seguenti operazioni:
Copia il file ISO nella VM e montalo localmente. Ti consigliamo di adottare questo approccio se
devi accedere solo ai contenuti del file ISO su una singola istanza VM.
Crea un disco permanente dal file ISO e collegalo in modalità di sola lettura
a una o più istanze VM. Ti consigliamo di adottare questo approccio se più VM devono
accedere ai contenuti del file ISO.
Questo documento descrive come creare un disco permanente dal file ISO e
collegarlo in modalità di sola lettura a una o più VM.
Prima di iniziare
Se non l'hai ancora fatto, configura l'autenticazione.
L'autenticazione è il processo mediante il quale la tua identità viene verificata per l'accesso a servizi e API di Google Cloud
Per eseguire codice o esempi da un ambiente di sviluppo locale, puoi autenticarti su
Compute Engine selezionando una delle seguenti opzioni:

Console
When you use the Google Cloud console to access Google Cloud services and
APIs, you don't need to set up authentication.
gcloud
Install the Google Cloud CLI.
After installation,
initialize the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:
Se il file ISO è disponibile pubblicamente tramite HTTP, non devi
scaricarlo prima. Per utilizzare un file ISO locale, puoi caricarlo
su Cloud Storage.
URL HTTP
Nella console Google Cloud , apri
Cloud Shell
facendo clic sul pulsante
Attiva Cloud Shell.
L'avvio della VM richiede circa 2 minuti. A seconda delle dimensioni del
file ISO, potrebbero essere necessari altri 5-15 minuti per completare l'operazione di copia
del file. Puoi osservare l'avanzamento eseguendo questo

This approach works well if you\n only need to access the contents of the ISO file on a single VM instance.\n\n- Create a Persistent Disk from the ISO file and attach the disk in read-only mode\n to one or more VM instances. This approach works well if multiple VMs need\n access to the contents of the ISO file.\n\nThis document describes how you can create a Persistent Disk from the ISO file and\nattach the disk in read-only mode to one or more VMs.\n| **Note:** The process described in this document does not apply to creating bootable operating system images from ISO files. For creating a bootable operating system image, see [Creating custom Windows BYOL images](/compute/docs/images/creating-custom-windows-byol-images).\n\nBefore you begin\n----------------\n\n- If you haven't already, set up [authentication](/compute/docs/authentication). Authentication verifies your identity for access to Google Cloud services and APIs. To run code or samples from a local development environment, you can authenticate to Compute Engine by selecting one of the following options:\n\n Select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page: \n\n ### Console\n\n\n When you use the Google Cloud console to access Google Cloud services and\n APIs, you don't need to set up authentication.\n\n ### gcloud\n\n 1.\n [Install](/sdk/docs/install) the Google Cloud CLI.\n\n After installation,\n [initialize](/sdk/docs/initializing) the Google Cloud CLI by running the following command:\n\n ```bash\n gcloud init\n ```\n\n\n If you're using an external identity provider (IdP), you must first\n [sign in to the gcloud CLI with your federated identity](/iam/docs/workforce-log-in-gcloud).\n | **Note:** If you installed the gcloud CLI previously, make sure you have the latest version by running `gcloud components update`.\n 2. [Set a default region and zone](/compute/docs/gcloud-compute#set_default_zone_and_region_in_your_local_client).\n\nPrepare the ISO file\n--------------------\n\nIf the ISO file is publicly available via HTTP, you do not need to download\nthe ISO file first. To use a local ISO file, you can upload the ISO file to\nCloud Storage. \n\n### HTTP URL\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, open\n [Cloud Shell](/shell/docs/using-cloud-shell)\n by clicking the\n **Activate Cloud Shell**\n button.\n\n [Go to the Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)\n2. Create an environment variable for the download URL. The URL can be\n an HTTP or HTTPS URL, but it must be accessible anonymously.\n\n ```\n ISO_URL=https://example.com/big.iso\n ```\n\n### Local ISO file\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, [create a Cloud Storage bucket](/storage/docs/creating-buckets).\n\n [Go to the Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)\n2. [Upload the ISO file](/storage/docs/uploading-objects).\n\n Depending on the size of the ISO file, the upload can take several\n minutes or hours.\n3. In the [Storage browser](https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser), navigate to\n the uploaded object.\n\n4. On the **Object details** page, copy the URI of the object. The URI\n starts with `gs://`.\n\n5. Open [Cloud Shell](/shell/docs/using-cloud-shell)\n by clicking the\n **Activate Cloud Shell**\n button.\n\n [Go to the Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/)\n6. Create an environment variable for the download URL. Replace\n \u003cvar translate=\"no\"\u003eURI\u003c/var\u003e with the URI that you copied.\n\n ```\n ISO_URL=URI\n ```\n\nCreate a disk containing the contents of the ISO file\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nTo copy the contents of the ISO file to a new disk, create a temporary VM, then\ncreate an image from the disk:\n\n1. From Cloud Shell, specify the name that you want to assign to the new\n disk:\n\n DISK_NAME=iso\n\n2. Create a new disk to which to copy the contents of the ISO files:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute disks create $DISK_NAME \\\n --size=10GB \\\n --zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone)\n ```\n\n Use a larger disk size if your ISO file exceeds 9 GB.\n3. Create a startup script for the temporary VM. The startup script performs\n the following actions:\n\n 1. Format the secondary disk with the NTFS file system.\n 2. Download the ISO file from the HTTP or Cloud Storage URL you specified.\n 3. Mount the ISO file and copy its contents to the secondary disk.\n\n ```\n cat \u003c\u003c \"EOF\" \u003e startup.ps1\n\n $DownloadDirectory = 'c:\\download\\'\n $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'\n $MetadataUrl = 'http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance'\n\n $DownloadUrl = (Invoke-RestMethod `\n -Headers @{\"Metadata-Flavor\" = \"Google\"} `\n -Uri \"$MetadataUrl/attributes/iso\")\n\n mkdir $DownloadDirectory\\Source -Force\n\n Write-Host '== Formatting secondary disk... ===' -ForegroundColor Black -BackgroundColor Yellow\n Set-Disk -Number 1 -IsOffline $false\n Clear-Disk -Number 1 -RemoveData -Confirm:$false -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue\n Initialize-Disk -Number 1 -PartitionStyle MBR\n New-Partition -DiskNumber 1 -UseMaximumSize -DriveLetter D -IsActive |\n Format-Volume -FileSystem 'NTFS' -Confirm:$false\n\n Write-Host '== Downloading ISO... =============' -ForegroundColor Black -BackgroundColor Yellow\n if ($DownloadUrl.StartsWith('gs:')) {\n & gcloud storage cp $DownloadUrl \"$DownloadDirectory\\Source\\image.iso\" | Out-Default\n }\n else {\n Import-Module BitsTransfer\n Start-BitsTransfer -Source $DownloadUrl -Destination \"$DownloadDirectory\\Source\\image.iso\"\n }\n\n Write-Host '== Mounting ISO... ================' -ForegroundColor Black -BackgroundColor Yellow\n Mount-DiskImage -ImagePath \"$DownloadDirectory\\Source\\image.iso\" -StorageType ISO\n\n Write-Host '== Copying ISO contents... ========' -ForegroundColor Black -BackgroundColor Yellow\n Copy-Item 'e:\\*' 'd:\\' -Force -Recurse -PassThru `\n | Where-Object { -Not $_.PSIsContainer } `\n | Set-ItemProperty -Name IsReadOnly -Value $False\n\n Write-Host '== Completed. =====================' -ForegroundColor Black -BackgroundColor Yellow\n Invoke-RestMethod `\n -Headers @{'Metadata-Flavor'='Google'} `\n -Method PUT `\n -Uri \"$MetadataUrl/guest-attributes/vm/ready\" `\n -Body true\n EOF\n ```\n4. Create a Windows Server 2019 VM that uses the startup script and the disk\n that you created previously:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute instances create iso-copier \\\n --machine-type=n1-standard-2 \\\n --image-family=windows-2019-core \\\n --image-project=windows-cloud \\\n --disk=name=$DISK_NAME,auto-delete=no \\\n --metadata=enable-guest-attributes=true,iso=$ISO_URL \\\n --metadata-from-file=windows-startup-script-ps1=startup.ps1 \\\n --scopes=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_only\n ```\n\n The VM takes about 2 minutes to start. Depending on the size of the\n ISO file, it can take another 5-15 minutes for the file copy operation\n to complete. You can observe the progress by running the following\n command: \n\n ```\n gcloud compute instances tail-serial-port-output iso-copier \\\n --zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone)\n ```\n5. Wait for the VM to finish running the startup script:\n\n ```\n until gcloud compute instances get-guest-attributes iso-copier \\\n --zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone) \\\n --query-path=vm/ready \u003e /dev/null 2\u003e&1\n do\n sleep 5 && echo waiting for VM to finish...\n done\n ```\n6. Shut down and delete the VM:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute instances delete iso-copier \\\n --zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone) \\\n --quiet\n ```\n\n Notice that the secondary disk is not deleted because it was mounted with\n the parameter `auto-delete=no`.\n\nThe disk is now ready to be used. You can [attach the disk in read-only mode\nto one or more VM instances](/compute/docs/disks/sharing-disks-between-vms)\nwithin the same zone.\n\nShare the disk across zones and regions by creating an image\n------------------------------------------------------------\n\nTo make the contents of the ISO file available in other zones or regions,\ncreate a Compute Engine image:\n\n1. From Cloud Shell, create an image from the disk that you created in the\n previous section:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute images create $DISK_NAME \\\n --source-disk=$DISK_NAME \\\n --source-disk-zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone)\n ```\n\nClean up\n--------\n\nTo avoid incurring further costs after you have completed this process, you\ncan delete the resources that you created:\n\n1. Delete the disk:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute disks delete $DISK_NAME \\\n --zone=$(gcloud config get-value compute/zone) \\\n --quiet\n ```\n2. Delete the image:\n\n ```\n gcloud compute images delete $DISK_NAME\n ```\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Learn how to\n [create custom images](/compute/docs/images/create-delete-deprecate-private-images).\n\n- Learn how to\n [manage access to custom images](/compute/docs/images/managing-access-custom-images).\n\n- Learn more about\n [Windows workloads on Compute Engine](/compute/docs/instances/windows)."]]
