Create GCloud VM instance with no VPC

Question

I need to create a Google Compute Engine Virtual Machine instance with no VPC.

For the App environment that I am using, I need to use the Public IP Address directly such as DigitalOcean Droplet, so if I run ifconfig command should show the interface with the public IP Address.

Answer 1

Each Compute Engine instance belongs to at least one VPC network. The use case you are describing is likely impossible given GCP's software-defined network architecture.
