First, create the Google Cloud compatible image:

```bash
make image-gcloud
```

Upload the image with:

```bash
gsutil cp /path/to/talos/build/gcloud/talos.tar.gz gs://<gcloud bucket name>
```

Create a custom google cloud image with:

 ```bash
gcloud compute images create talos --source-uri=gs://<gcloud bucket name>/talos.tar.gz --guest-os-features=VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE
```

Create an instance in google cloud, making sure to create a `user-data` key in the "Metadata" section, with a value of your full talos node configuration.
