# How to install the Network Connector agent on Google Cloud

In this document, you will find a step-by-step guide on how to install the **Network Connector** on Google Cloud.

Info

Use the automatic container configuration functions available in the instance creation interface of Compute Engine to simplify the process.

## Create instance on Google Cloud

1. Go to the **Compute Engine** page in the Google Cloud dashboard.
2. Select the option **VM Instances** no menu lateral.
3. Click in **Create Instance** to start the process of creating a new instance
4. On the instance creation screen, define a name for the instance and choose the desired region.
5. Make the following changes to the configuration parameters:
  - Series: E2.
  - Machine Type: e2-small.
6. In **Container**, click on the button **Deploy Container** define the fields:
  - **Container Image** as `registry.senhasegura.io/network-connector/agent-v2:latest`.
  - **Restart policy** as `Always`.
7. In **Environment Variables**, define the fields:
  - `SENHASEGURA_FINGERPRINT`: The fingerprint as seen in Segura™.
  - `SENHASEGURA_AGENT_PORT`: The port defined in the Segura™ interface.
  - `SENHASEGURA_ADDRESSES`: IPs of machines running Segura™.
  - `SENHASEGURA_AGENT_SECONDARY`: As `true` or `false`.
8. In `Advanced Configuration` select the option `Management`.
9. Under Metadata, click `Add Item` and enter the following combination:
  - Key: `google-logging-enabled`.
  - Value: `true`.
10. Leave the rest of the settings as default.
11. Click **Create** to finish the process.

The agent of **Network Connector** should automatically connect to Segura™ after these steps.

The created instance will be updated automatically, and it will only be necessary to restart it when there is an update to the container image.
