Firstly user needs to do some setting in virtual box. Then create a RAW format file to compress then upload to the google cloud platform. Once the machine is uploaded user can create a machine from the image. Commands are: 1. Create RAW disk using command #VBoxManage clonehd -format RAW ~/VirtualBox\ VMs/Kali/kali.qcow ~/disk.raw 2. Convert into tar format using command #gtar -cSzf kali.tar.gz disk.raw 3. Move the tar file to Google storage (gs) using command #gsutil cp kali.tar.gz gs://VirtualBox/kali.tar.gz 4. Create new virtual machine image using command #gcloud compute images kali --source-uri gs://VirtualBox/kali.tar.gz 5. Create new virtual machine instance using command #gcloud compute instances create kali --image kali --machine-type n1-standard-1 --zone us-central1-b Below is the link for raw.tar.gz file. https://mega.nz/#!kWB2TQgL!tjSVL7dz3MB0AzfGGS5Zqdpk-FQp2uS3_qcgzszq1gw
