Steps

• You may need to get the auth login for the first time to use gcloud

• $ gcloud auth login
  

• Follow the steps provided by gcloud
• Get the DISK_NAME

• $ gcloud compute instances describe garch-trader | grep disk
  Did you mean zone [us-central1-a] for instance: [garch-trader] (Y/n)? Y
  disks:
    source: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/idyllic-silo-248808/zones/us-central1-a/disks/garch-trader
  

• Resize the disk

• $ gcloud compute disks resize garch-trader --zone us-central1-a --size 50GB
  $ sudo growpart /dev/sda 1
  $ sudo resize2fs /dev/sda1
