TL;DR: - Build a google cloud image with make gcloud-image - Upload the image with gsutil cp /path/to/talos/build/gcloud/talos.tar.gz gs://gcloud-bucket-name - Create a custom google cloud image with:

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

• Create 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. Further exploration needed to see if we can use the “Startup script” section instead.
