Connect via PuTTY to Linux VM on Google Cloud

There are two ways you can make an SSH connection using PuTTY to GCP provisioned Linux Compute Instance:
- Generate Public / Private SSH keys, add public key to the Instance and use Private key in Putty to make a connection
- Modify sshd on the Linux VM to accept login/passwords login requests
In this video I will present both ways, based on the Linux Debian example. I will also briefly discuss how to troubleshoot your connection issues, checking the firewall settings etc.
There might be some difference between Linux Distributions, however the overall process should be very similar.

I read through the google cloud instructions a good 8 times and it kept failing, got frustrated after around an hour and searched it on youtube to see if there was a tutorial and this was the first result. Fixed in 5 minutes. Thanks
