How do I replicate a Google Colab environment onto a GCloud instance?

Question

Ok - total noob on the topic here so this might not even be a good idea.

I have a Google Colab notebook I use for generating images from a textual prompt, where every image takes about 30 secs.

Since I’d like to generate a several hundred I’d like to have an environment set up on GCloud where I run the same process but with a batch of - say - 800 instead of the usual 5-10, and ideally I start the process, close the connection with the machine and come back the next day to find the results.

This might well be a duplicate - because I have no idea of what to search for.

So: is it a good or bad idea and how do I do this?
