In this lab, you build a sophisticated deployment in minutes using Marketplace. This lab shows several of the Google Cloud infrastructure services in action and illustrates the power of the platform. It introduces technologies that are covered in detail later in the class.
In this lab, you learn how to perform the following tasks:
For each lab, you get a new Google Cloud project and set of resources for a fixed time at no cost.
Click the Start Lab button. If you need to pay for the lab, a pop-up opens for you to select your payment method. On the left is the Lab Details panel with the following:
Click Open Google Cloud console (or right-click and select Open Link in Incognito Window if you are running the Chrome browser).
The lab spins up resources, and then opens another tab that shows the Sign in page.
Tip: Arrange the tabs in separate windows, side-by-side.
If necessary, copy the Username below and paste it into the Sign in dialog.
You can also find the Username in the Lab Details panel.
Click Next.
Copy the Password below and paste it into the Welcome dialog.
You can also find the Password in the Lab Details panel.
Click Next.
Click through the subsequent pages:
After a few moments, the Google Cloud console opens in this tab.
In this task, you use Google Cloud Marketplace to deploy a pre-configured Jenkins instance. You explore the Marketplace interface, select the Bitnami Jenkins package, and launch the deployment using Deployment Manager. You configure basic deployment settings, including the service account, zone, and machine type.
The service you are using, Marketplace, is part of Google Cloud. The Jenkins template is developed and maintained by an ecosystem partner named Bitnami. Notice on the left side a field that says "Last updated." How recently was this template updated?

click Deploy.Note: Ignore the warning after the Jenkins is deployed.
Note: It will take a minute or two for Deployment Manager to set up the deployment. You can watch the status as tasks are being performed. Deployment Manager is acquiring a virtual machine instance and installing and configuring software for you. You will see jenkins-1 has been deployed when the process is complete.
Deployment Manager is a Google Cloud service that uses templates written in a combination of YAML, python, and Jinja2 to automate the allocation of Google Cloud resources and perform setup tasks. Behind the scenes a virtual machine has been created. A startup script was used to install and configure software, and network Firewall Rules were created to allow traffic to the service.
Click Check my progress to verify the objective.
In this task, you explore the deployed Jenkins instance. You retrieve admin credentials, log into the Jenkins web interface, and familiarize yourself with its features.
In this task, you access the Jenkins VM via SSH and manage the Jenkins service. You stop and restart the services using command-line tools, demonstrating administrative control over the deployed application.

to close the SSH terminal session.In a few minutes you were able to launch a complete Continuous Integration solution. You demonstrated that you had user access through the Jenkins UI, and you demonstrated that you had administrative control over Jenkins by using SSH to connect to the VM where the service is hosted and by stopping and then restarting the services.
