GCP Compute is an on-cloud VM to run everything like your own machine.
Using Terraform, a GCP Compute Virtual Machine can be provisioned quickly by defining resource blocks in '*.tf' files.
After setting up the VM, a simple HTTP web server container can be deployed on GCP VM by using Docker and running a custom container for testing a web app.
Once the web app is running, it can be accessed using the ephemeral IP of the VM on port 8080 to make HTTP calls and retrieve the response.
