 ## Deploy the host Virtual Machine
 
 We need to first deploy a small virtual machine with a persistent disk that will host the NFS server.
-Using `gcloud`, the command is:
-
-```bash
-gcloud compute instances create nfs-server-01 \
-  --image=ubuntu-2004-focal-v20210720 \

-  --boot-disk-size=100GB \
-  --boot-disk-type=pd-standard

+You can use `gcloud` commands to achieve this.

 ```{note}
 If deploying a NFS server for a **private** cluster, add the `--no-address` flag to the `gcloud compute instances create` command.
 This will prevent the VM trying to claim an external IP address, which will not be allowed within the private configuration.
