I do not know the answer specifically as it pertains to GCP but I know that a couple other VPS providers just look for specific programs using a lot of CPU via their command-line and program name from the hypervisor. No scanning, just a process list and CPU usage in those cases. But I have no idea what GCP is specifically doing in your case. Simple monitoring tools can flag this.
