Deploy Genkit to Google Cloud Compute Engine
+A step-by-step guide to setting up a Google Cloud Platform VM, authenticating with GitHub, and running Genkit Python samples. This guide walks you through deploying Genkit on a Google Cloud Compute Engine instance to run the provider-google-genai-hello sample.
+
+## Create your VM Instance
+
+First, provision a virtual machine in the Google Cloud Console with the following specifications:
+
+```
+| Category | Configuration
+|---------------|--------------------------------------------------
+| Machine Name | genkit
+| Region / Zone | us-central1 / us-central1-a
+| Machine Type | E2 (General Purpose)
+| OS | Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
+| Storage | 30 GB Balanced Persistent Disk
+| Firewall | Allow HTTP, HTTPS, and Load Balancer health checks
+```
+
+## Access the VM via SSH
+
+Open your Google Cloud Shell and connect to your new instance:
+
+```bash
+gcloud compute ssh genkit --zone us-central1-a
+```
+Once connected, switch to the root user to ensure permanent permissions for global installations:
+
+```bash
+sudo -i
+```
+
+## Configure Git and GitHub Authentication
+
+
+ 1. Install Git:
+
+ ```bash
+ apt update && apt install git -y
+ ```
+
+ 2. Set your Identity:
+
+ ```bash
+ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
+ git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"
+ ```
+
+ 3. Generate SSH Key:
+
+ ```bash
+ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "youremail@example.com"
+ # Press Enter for all prompts (no passphrase)
+ ```
+ 4. Add Key to SSH Agent:
+
+ ```bash
+ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
+ ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
+ ```
+
+ 5. Link to GitHub:
+
+
+ Run `cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub` and copy the output. Go to GitHub Settings > SSH and GPG keys > New SSH Key, and paste your public key there.
+
+ 6. Test Connection:
+
+ ```bash
+ ssh -T git@github.com
+ ```
+ Type 'yes' when prompted
+
+
+
+## Clone and Initialize Genkit
+Navigate to the Genkit repository and run the automated setup script for Python samples.
+
+```bash
+git clone git@github.com:firebase/genkit.git
+cd genkit/py/samples
+./setup.sh
+export PATH="/root/.local/bin:$PATH"
+```
+
+ During setup:
+
+- Enter your Gemini API Key when prompted.
+
+- Enter your GCP Project ID.
+
+- You can skip other optional prompts.
+
+## Run the Sample
+Follow these steps to launch the Google GenAI hello provider sample:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Load your environment variables
+source ~/.environment
+
+# 2. Navigate to the specific sample
+cd provider-google-genai-hello
+
+# 3. Start the sample
+./run.sh
+```
+
+## Access the Developer UI
+To view the Genkit Developer UI from your local browser, you must open port `4000` in the GCP Firewall.
+
+ Create Firewall Rule
+1. Go to VPC Network > Firewall in the GCP Console.
+
+2. Click Create Firewall Rule.
+
+3. Name: allow-genkit
+
+4. Targets: All instances in the network
+
+5. Source IPv4 range: 0.0.0.0/0 (Note: Use your specific IP for better security).
+
+6. Protocols and ports: Check TCP and enter 4000.
+
+7. Click Create.
+
+Launching the UI
+Find your VM's External IP address in the VM Instances list and navigate to it in your browser:
+
+`http://[YOUR_EXTERNAL_IP]:4000`
