I have never done this, but surely, setting up a VM on google cloud is
pretty much the same as setting up a VM on a local machine ?
if that is the case, then I would think that you should be able to
change its FQDN to whatever you like and if so, the usual rules apply,
if you have a registered domain name, use a subdomain of that, for
example you could use 'ad.hamilton1505.se', alternatively, you could
use the .internal TLD, but I wouldn't use the rest of the suggested
domain name, make something up.
