Introduction
Recently I installed VNC on CentOS 6 on GCP for some development work. Sharing my notes. The steps are similar for Redhat Enterprise Linux.
Concepts
VNC - Virtual Private Networking, a Graphical User Interface platform that can be accessed remotely
Steps
Create a VM
Create a CentOS instance in Micro VM Shape. To reduce latency choose a region close to you. Note that I'm using default VPC network that is automatically created. If you need more details on how to create VM pls refer my earlier blog
