Connect using SSH to a Dataproc cluster

Console

2. In the list of virtual machine instances, click SSH in the row of the Dataproc VM instance that you want to connect to.

A browser window opens in your home directory on the node.

Google Cloud CLI

Run the gcloud compute ssh command in a local terminal window or from Cloud Shell to connect using SSH to a cluster VM node.

gcloud compute ssh cluster-VM-name\
  --zone=zone \
  --project=project-id

gcloud compute ssh cluster-1-m \
 --zone=us-central-1-a \
 --project=my-project-id
