Rent-a-VM to Process Earthquake Data

This self-paced lab, Rent-a-VM to Process Earthquake Data, provides hands-on experience in spinning up a virtual machine, configuring security permissions, remote access, and implementing a data pipeline manually. The lab is part of a series focusing on processing scientific data.

Throughout this course, you will:

• Create a Compute Engine instance with specific security permissions.
• SSH into the instance to access it remotely.
• Manually install the software package Git for source code version control.

By the end of the lab, you will have gained practical skills in managing virtual machines, implementing security measures, and executing data pipelines, which are crucial for processing scientific data effectively.
