Creating a Traffic Manager Instance on Google Compute Engine

This chapter describes how to install and configure the Traffic Manager virtual machine on Google Compute Engine (GCE). To install the Traffic Manager software variant on an existing GCE-based Linux or UNIX virtual machine, see instead Installing the Traffic Manager Software on EC2 or GCE.

To create a Traffic Manager virtual machine, launch one or more instances of the Traffic Manager image available from the GCE package launcher. No other installation procedure is necessary. All you need to do is login to the instance and configure it.
