Code Review

This pull request adds a new guide for deploying Genkit on Google Compute Engine. The guide is comprehensive, but it contains some significant security issues that should be addressed. Specifically, it instructs users to run as the root user and to open a firewall port to the entire internet, both of which are dangerous practices. I've provided suggestions to follow security best practices, such as using sudo sparingly and using SSH port forwarding instead of opening firewall ports. I've also included some suggestions to improve the formatting and clarity of the document.
