             • shows archieved file for the one created. if the main is deleted, you can find the arhieved one by using the -a

10. Google Compute Engine

    • Start a GCE Virtual Machine
      • Commands
        • gcloud: used with other complementary commands to check and set up GCE
          • gcloud service list
          • gcloud service list --enabled
          • gcloud service list --available
          • gcloud compute instances list
            • when google compute engine API is not enabled you get an error. To enable GCE API you simple go to the link provided in the error and wait some seconds. When the list command is ran again the error will not happen and you will see the service available in the list
          • gcloud compute instances create <vmname>
          • gcloud compute instances delete <vmname>
          • To study
            • https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/
            • https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/
            • https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/properties
              • gcloud config list show the list of properties for a configuration. this can be changed by using "gcloud config set/unset <property> <value>"
            • https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/configurations
              • gcloud config configurations list shows the list of active configuration
              • Configuration is a set of named properties that can be managed by using some command lines. Good to be used when managing several projects with different set ups
