In the Navigation pane, click Workstation configurations.
Click Create.
For Name, type my-config.
For Workstation cluster, select my-cluster.
Leave the remaining values as defaults, then click Continue.
For Machine type, select e2-standard-2.
Click Continue
For Code editors, select Base Editor (Code OSS).
Leave the remaining values as defaults, then click Create.
On the Workstation configurations page, a new configurtion is being created. When the Status field changes from Reconciling to Ready, the template is ready to use, usually in a minute.
