everyone. I'm a fresh to use GCP. I have a request, I need to create several compute engine instances with one snapshot at the same time. I found out instance group could create several instances by using instance templates. But it seems can't use snapshots. I need bunch of severs run the same software which I've already saved as a snapshot. Is there any solutions that can help me out?
