11 | | -In this section, you will learn how to provision a Google Axion C4A Arm virtual machine on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) using the `c4a-standard-4` (4 vCPUs, 16 GB memory) machine type in the Google Cloud Console. |
12 | | -We will then use this GCP VM to execute a few Jenkins use cases. |

|
20 | | -To create a virtual machine based on the C4A instance type: |
21 | | -- Navigate to the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/). |
22 | | -- Go to **Compute Engine > VM Instances** and select **Create Instance**. |
| 19 | +To create a virtual machine using the C4A instance type: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +- Open the [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/). |
| 22 | +- Go to **Compute Engine** > **VM instances**, and then select **Create instance**. |
23 | 23 | - Under **Machine configuration**: |
24 | | - - Populate fields such as **Instance name**, **Region**, and **Zone**. |
25 | | - - Set **Series** to `C4A`. |
26 | | - - Select `c4a-standard-4` for machine type. |
| 24 | + - Specify an **Instance name**, **Region**, and **Zone**. |
| 25 | + - Set **Series** to **C4A**. |
| 26 | + - Select **c4a-standard-4** as the machine type. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +- Under **OS and storage**, select **Change**, and then choose an Arm64-based operating system image. |
| 31 | + - For this Learning Path, select **SUSE Linux Enterprise Server**. |
| 32 | + - For the license type, choose **Pay as you go**. |
| 33 | + - Increase **Size (GB)** from **10** to **50** to allocate sufficient disk space. |
| 34 | + - Select **Choose** to apply the changes. |
| 35 | +- Under **Networking**, enable **Allow HTTP traffic** and **Allow HTTPS traffic**. Additionally, enter **"tcp-allow-8080"** as a networking tag. |
| 36 | +- Select **Create** to launch the virtual machine. |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +After the instance starts, click **SSH** next to the VM in the instance list to open a browser-based terminal session. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +A new browser window opens with a terminal connected to your virtual machine. |
