It seems there might be a bit of confusion in your question. “GCP” typically refers to Google Cloud Platform, while “EC2” is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). Google Cloud and AWS are two separate cloud service providers, and their offerings are not directly interchangeable.

Here’s a clarification:

• Google Cloud Platform (GCP): GCP is Google’s cloud computing platform, offering a wide range of cloud services, including virtual machines (VMs) called “Google Compute Engine instances.” In GCP, you create and manage VM instances using the Compute Engine service, not EC2.

• Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2): EC2 is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows you to create and manage virtual machines (EC2 instances) on AWS’s cloud infrastructure. EC2 instances are not a part of Google Cloud Platform.
