  2. Run a virtual machine on Compute Engine

    Create, label and manage a virtual machine the way a Google Cloud administrator does. Turn on Compute Engine, create a small VM, give it a label and a network tag, open port 80 to it with a firewall rule, then stop it and delete it so it stops costing money.
