How to get CentOS 8 option available as a VM option in GCP / GCE?

How would I go about getting CentOS 8 as a VM option in GCP/GCE? or creating my own CentOS 8 VM to run on GCP?

Any guides (README’s, documents) there or contacts on how to get this done?

    There is an article on GCP that talks about a technique/recipe for creating a boot image that is custom. The article is called Manually importing virtual disks. If I understand the basics of the story, you could use a technology such as VirtualBox to create a local VM image and then prepare that for import into Google Cloud Storage. From there, one could then seem to use that as a source for a new Compute Engine instance.

    Currently GCP supports Centos-7 as a public image. As suggested by the previous member you can create a Custom image from source disks, images, snapshots, or images stored in Cloud Storage.

    See instructions HERE

    Your other option is to wait for Google to introduce Centos-8 in their supported family

    Centos 8 is already available on GCE but it is without shielded VM support.
