Ask technical questions on Stack Exchange

Know what you want to accomplish, but not how? Try posting on a Stack Exchange site. For specific technical questions, such as "why won't this code work" or "how do I install Hadoop on Compute Engine," there are several relevant tags on Stack Exchange sites.

Stack Exchange is a large community of fellow enthusiasts, motivated by the desire for Stack Exchange reputation , who are likely to provide a great answer. Our engineers are also a part of this community and might be able to help out.

We recommend that you post your question on one of the following sites:

• Server Fault All about system and network administration. If your question is about getting something working rather than writing new code, this site is your best bet. This should be your default for questions about most Compute and Networking products.
• Stack Overflow : For Q&A around programming and development. Given the size of the community, this is a reasonable default for questions about many products.

For information about how to ask a good question on a Stack Exchange site, see How do I ask a good question? .

You can also see posts for all Google Cloud products in the Google Cloud Collective .
