Using the image names listed under Find NetWitness Platform GCP Images, create a GCP Instance by running the command:
gcloud compute instances create <instance name> --image <netwitness image name> --image-project <rsa project> --machine-type <machine type> --zone <gcp zone> --no-address
For example:
gcloud compute instances create nw-server --image rsa-nw-11-4-0-0-14000-full --image-project gcp-nw-prod-images --machine-type n1-standard-8 --zone us-west1-c --no-address
Note: The simple example is shown above, but there are many other options available. For more information, see the "Quickstart: Creating a New Instance Using the Command Line" section in the GCP documentation.
