A compute engine allows you to deploy operating systems using either public images or custom images. Public images are maintained by Google, third-party vendors, and open source communities. All projects have access to these images to create instances. Custom images can be created in your project and are available only to your project. You can even import a custom image from your data center into GCP at no cost other than the image storage charge.
All public images are 64-bit versions of the operating systems. Only some of the public images are supported by the compute engine team:
