La administración de máquina virtual (VM) aisladas de Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) te permite aprovisionar e implementar VMs, y administrar cada VM a lo largo de su ciclo de vida.
El administrador de VMs incluye las siguientes áreas:
Ciclo de vida de la VM: Aprovisiona y administra VMs de forma y tamaño arbitrarios con los comandos de kubectl, la API, la CLI de Distributed Cloud o la consola de GDC.
Administración de imágenes:
Usa una imagen del sistema operativo (SO) que proporcione Distributed Cloud o
una imagen de SO personalizada. Puedes compilar imágenes personalizadas del SO a partir de una imagen de SO proporcionada o de tu propia imagen.
Agente del SO invitado:
Administra el acceso y la observabilidad de tu VM. Publica paquetes de la herramienta de paquetes avanzada (APT), con sus dependencias, en tus VMs.
Herramientas de redes:
Se integra con las herramientas de redes de Distributed Cloud para mantener direcciones IP de entrada y salida estables.
Almacenamiento:
Accede a discos de arranque o secundarios duraderos, instantáneas de discos y copias de seguridad de máquinas a través de una integración estrecha con el almacenamiento.
Recuperación ante desastres:
Usa instantáneas a nivel del disco y copias de seguridad completas de la VM para la recuperación ante desastres.
Conjuntos de instrucciones de la VM
Las instrucciones de este conjunto de documentación se presentan para la CLI de kubectl, la consola de GDC, la CLI de gdcloud o la API, según corresponda. En los casos en los que solo están disponibles kubectl o la consola de GDC, el conjunto de instrucciones refleja ese estado. Por ejemplo, si una función solo admite dos de los tres conjuntos de instrucciones, solo verás esos dos conjuntos.

You can build custom OS images from a provided OS image, or from your own image.\n- [**Guest OS agent**](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/manage-the-os/guest-environment): Manage your VM access and observability. Serve advanced package tool (APT) packages, with their dependencies, to your VMs.\n- [**Networking**](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/connect-to-vm/connect-to-a-vm): Integrate with Distributed Cloud networking to maintain stable ingress and egress IP addresses.\n- [**Storage**](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/manage-storage/add-a-vm-disk): Access durable boot or secondary disks, disk snapshots, and machine backups through tight integration with storage.\n- [**Disaster recovery**](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/backup-and-restore/restore-from-backup/create-vm-from-backup): Use disk-level snapshots and complete VM backups for disaster recovery.\n\nVM instruction sets\n-------------------\n\nInstructions in this documentation set are presented for the `kubectl` CLI, the\nGDC console, the gdcloud CLI, or the API, as applicable. In\ncases where only `kubectl` or the GDC console is available, the\ninstruction set reflects that status. For example, if a feature supports only\ntwo of the three instruction sets, you see only those two sets of instructions.\n\nUse these instructions after you [download and install gdcloud CLI](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/resources/gdcloud-download)\non your computer and have completed any open tasks listed on the\n[Preparation](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/preparation) page.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\nTo get started, go to the\n[Create and start a VM instance](/distributed-cloud/hosted/docs/latest/gdch/application/ao-user/vms/create-a-vm/create-and-start)\npage."]]
