Create a new VM from a snapshot
Google doesn't provide a way to restore a snapshot to the boot drive. So you have to create a new VM from the snapshot instead.
List the disks:
gcloud compute disks list
List the snapshots:
gcloud compute snapshots list
Describe a snapshot:
gcloud compute snapshots describe snapshot-1
