This document demonstrates how to use Cloud Client Libraries for Compute Engine. It describes how to list, create, and delete virtual machine (VM) instances. It also describes how to check the status of a long-running operation. You can run code samples from your local machine or on a VM instance, provided that you have authorized the sample correctly.
For a full list of available client libraries, including other client libraries and third-party open source libraries, see Compute Engine Client Libraries.
Costs
In this document, you use the following billable components of Google Cloud:
- Compute Engine
To generate a cost estimate based on your projected usage,
use the pricing calculator.
New Google Cloud users might be eligible for a free trial.
Before you begin
Before you begin, follow the installation and authentication setup steps on Compute Engine Client Libraries for the client library you want to use.
The examples in this document require you to provide information about the VM you want to create, like its location, machine type, and source image. For details on those values, see the following documents:
Creating an instance
The following example defines an instance that uses a specified name, machine
type, network, source image, and disk. Then, it creates (inserts) the instance
in a project and zone that you provide. In this example, the instance connects
to the default network, which is created automatically for every project. You
receive a message back when the API successfully creates the instance.
When you create a virtual machine (VM) instance, you must also attach a boot disk to the VM. The boot disk contains all of the necessary files required for starting a VM, including a public or custom OS image.

endDeleting an instance
The following example deletes an instance based on the project, zone, and instance name that you provide. You receive a message back when the API successfully deletes the instance.
The delete operation is irreversible. When you only want to turn off an instance temporarily, consider stopping or suspending the instance instead.
If the autoDelete parameter is true for the instance, you also delete the
boot disk when you delete the instance. This setting is set to true by default
during instance creation, and you can adjust it
when your use case calls for disks and instances to be deleted separately.

endHandling default values
For some fields that you choose not to send in requests or don't receive in responses, the Compute Engine API assumes non-zero default values. Google specifies these default values in API reference field descriptions and in the comments of the protocol buffers that the client libraries are built on.
These protocol buffers are in protocol buffers v3 format and report a
zero value for fields that aren't present, even when the Compute Engine API
server uses a different default. Zero values for fields that aren't present are
as follows: 0 for numbers, false for booleans, empty for strings.
In the protocol buffers that the Compute Engine Cloud Client Libraries
are built on, all non-required fields are marked as proto3 optional. Consider
a field named name marked as optional in a hypothetical protocol buffer
message named MyRecord. For that field, do the following:
When sending a request: If you intend to send an explicit zero value to the server for the field, you must set it in the request message:
MyRecord.name="". Otherwise, the server uses its default value. Before you make the request to the server, you can confirm based on field presence that you set the zero value in your code. A field is present when something like the hypotheticalMyRecord.hasName()method returnstrue.When handling a response: If a field marked as
optionalis absent or has an explicit zero value, check the API reference to see what value you should assume for the field. For some fields, a zero value in the response is a valid non-default value and represents the intended value of the field.
In general, check the API reference documentation to see how the server interprets an absent value or zero value for a field, as it varies by method.
For example, consider changing the prefix of the name of the usage report
(reportNamePrefix) for your project. When the server receives an empty string
value or doesn't receive the field at all, it uses a certain default value
(usage_gce, as described in the reference for
projects.setUsageExportBucket) to generate
the report.
Although the server explicitly returns an empty string for reportNamePrefix,
the reference for projects.get correctly indicates that the
report is generated with the default value usage_gce for reportNamePrefix.

Handling pagination
Some requests to the Compute Engine API return long lists of results, which the server provides to you as smaller "pages" of results with each call. When interacting with the API directly, you make multiple API requests to get responses for successive pages.
When you use Cloud Client Libraries, those requests simply return an iterator. You can then use the iterator to obtain all the individual results corresponding to your initial request. This process happens as though the results were returned in one long list. The client library silently issues any necessary API requests for additional pages to ensure your iterator automatically traverses the full set of results.

await foreach (var image in client.ListAsync(request))
{
// The result is an Image collection.
Console.WriteLine($"Image: {image.Name}");

You can also use the pages attribute of the returned

Clean up
To avoid incurring charges to your Google Cloud account for the resources used in this tutorial, either delete the project that contains the resources, or keep the project and delete the individual resources.
When you're done experimenting, follow these cleanup instructions to avoid incurring charges for the virtual machine instance.
To delete a Compute Engine instance:
- In the Google Cloud console, go to the VM instances page.
- Select the checkbox for the instance that you want to delete.
- To delete the instance, click more_vert More actions, click Delete, and then follow the instructions.
What's next
- Review the API reference to learn how to perform other tasks with the API.
