Cloud compute instance VM script help

[Fraglaj]

Hello, I don't really know where to ask for help so i'll ask here. I want to make a script for my cloud VM to start at a certain hour and also run a script inside it right after starting itself, and then for it to run a inside script and shutdown the VM right after it at a other certain hour. So that it's ON from 9am to 3am and OFF the rest of time I don't know how to navigate the page to get to it as i have not used google cloud at all, only other cloud services where i used the vm for 24/7. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi, @Fraglaj.

You can use the GCP Cloud Scheduler to automatically start or stop a VM at specific times. I recommend referring to this official documentation for setup details.

Additionally, to run a script when the VM starts, you can use the startup script feature available in the VM instance settings. Please look on the corresponding documentation for guidance on how to configure this.
