Does the Google Cloud Compute Engine provide an image of Ubuntu?

Question

I am new to the Google Cloud Compute Engine and reading the Custom Image section of my developer documentation, and then I discovered that they allow you to customize Debian and CentOS images. So I wonder if Ubuntu, which is also based on Debian, is allowed or not. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

If you want to enable the work, you can create an image from scratch using any Linux distribution that you like.
