Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use a virtual machine for?

For many small and medium businesses, moving to the cloud starts with a single virtual machine. You can use VMs for things like backing up data, replacing old or unsupported machines, hosting secure email, and supporting SaaS applications and mobility.

How do I migrate my current virtual machines to Google Cloud?

Most of our customers work with a partner to help them assess, plan, configure networks, and replicate their virtual machines on Google Cloud. Alternatively, you can handle the migration yourself using our free tools. Read more about the benefits of both approaches and get suggestions for verified partners here.

What are the specifications for this preconfigured instance?

Each Debian VM comes with two virtual CPUs, 7.5GB RAM, and 20GB storage. If you need more compute, networking, or storage capabilities, you can easily deploy additional instances.
