GCE Third Party for automation (snapshots/images etc...)

I am new to Google Compute Engine and I want to do automatic images/snapshot backups every X hours.

Previously I have used Amazon Cloud (EC2 instances) and did the automatic backups with a third party tool called Skeddly (which is UI that by setting some fields, it makes an automation for this backups).

Now, I would like to find a third party tool that will do something similar in GCE instance.

I know that it is possible to do with gcloud commands, or powershell, but I would like to do it with UI (third party tool) if exists.

What could you recommend me?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • You can do it by using directly the SDK, by running gcloud commands with Cron but if you want to use external tools I'll recommend you to use Terraform or Ansible.
