I will assume that you trying to connect from local machine to an instance which would be the normal case. Let me know if you are looking for a different scenario.

You can connect to instances that do not have external IP addresses by following any method from the article .

Additionally keep in mind that your Google Cloud Platform VPC network must have one or more firewall rules that allow SSH connections on port 22. The firewall rules must allow SSH connections for the IP ranges or specific IP addresses from which you want to connect.

In case your GCE VM does have an external IP, I would recommend connecting using "gcloud compute SSH", since once Cloud SDK has been setup, it will create automatically the necessary keys to access the VMs.
