I have a Google cloud VM instance running. Is it possible to build a node app that runs commands on that VM terminal and get the output?

For more context, as a learning experiment I'm running a blockchain node through a Google cloud VM and want to build a node app that can query the blockchain network (which the VM is connected to) to do something like retrieve the balance of an address.Thanks a lot.
