Accessing the GCP hosts

If you need ssh access to individual vms on GCP you have come to the right place. If you are having difficulty with getting access or you don’t believe we have enabled your public ssh key on these hosts please submit an issue to the infrastructure tracker with the ~access_request and the production team will help.

Direct access to the public internet is turned off in both gstg and gprd, to access VMs you will need to configure you ssh client to use the bastion hosts.

Tab completion for hosts

To add tab completion to host names that you have already connected to install bash-completion (brew install on osx) and the following to your .bash_profile

if [ -f /usr/local/etc/bash_completion ]; then
. /usr/local/etc/bash_completion
fi

For zsh users (default in macOS Catalina), zsh-completions is also available. brew install zsh-completions will show instructions on how to activate this.
