Recently, I just started using Google's GCE, and I will record the official Goolge documentation on how to generate a key for the instance to use.
The -C comment here will use the name of the logged-in user, and the -t will use rsa.

ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/ccc-gce -C [USERNAME]

Then put the newly added key into the metadata.

You can specify this key for SSH public key verification on your computer.
The following are, schematic instructions:

ssh -i ~/.ssh/ccc-gcp devin@ccc.tc
Enter passphrase for key '/Users/devin/.ssh/ccc-gcp':
