[!todo]
Configure a Linux Compute Engine instance that installs the Apache web server software using a remote startup script. In order to confirm that a compute instance Apache has successfully installed, the Compute Engine instance must be accessible via HTTP from the internet.

Instead of storing startup scripts directly in the instances' metadata, ==you have decided to store the scripts in a Cloud Storage bucket and then configure the virtual machines to point to the relevant script file in the bucket==.

Normally we cloud add startup script directly

# on new instance 
gcloud compute instances create VM_NAME \
  --image-project=debian-cloud \
  --image-family=debian-10 \
  --metadata=startup-script='#! /bin/bash
  apt update
  apt -y install apache2
  cat <<EOF > /var/www/html/index.html
  <html><body><p>Linux startup script added directly.</p></body></html>
  EOF'

# on created instance 
gcloud compute instances add-metadata VM_NAME \
  --zone=ZONE \
  --metadata=startup-script='#! /bin/bash
  apt update
  apt -y install apache2
  cat <<EOF > /var/www/html/index.html
  <html><body><p>Linux startup script added directly.</p></body></html>
  EOF'
But this workshop we're going to add with startup script from Cloud Bucket
Configure Instance Metadata with startup script

Create Cloud Storage Bucket with projectId as name
BUCKET_NAME="qwiklabs-gcp-00-5891a493aa66"
gcloud storage buckets create gs://$BUCKET_NAME
create a startup script
vim install-web.sh
# with content 
# #!/bin/bash
# apt-get update 
# apt-get install -y apache2
Add file to storage[^1]
gcloud storage cp install-web.sh gs://$BUCKET_NAME
Pass the startup script into VM
VM_NAME="lab-monitor"
ZONE="us-central1-a"
gcloud compute instances add-metadata $VM_NAME \
  --zone=$ZONE \
  --metadata startup-script-url=gs://$BUCKET_NAME/install-web.sh
Verify by shelling into VM and run
sudo google_metadata_script_runner startup
Check firewalls
# attach tag into VM
gcloud compute instance add-tags $VM_NAME --zone=$ZONE --tags=lab-monitor

# create firewall for http
gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow-http --target-tags lab-monitor --source-ranges 0.0.0.0/0 --allow tcp:80
