If you're willing to do an in-place upgrade, it's really simple. Get the media for the Standard (or any other) edition on to the VM (how you do that is up to you, download, move through attached storage, carrier pigeon, whatever). Start running the installation code for Standard. Choose "Maintenance". Right there you'll find "Edition Upgrade".
That's it. It's simple.

I think that's how you have to do it there too. You can't simply upgrade the VM in place. It just doesn't work like that. Once you have a VM, it's a VM. So, the solution is likely to not do an in-place upgrade and actually do a side-by-side upgrade. I would expect the same in Azure BTW.
I don't see anything searching around Google Cloud that works the way AWS or Azure does. They both have mechanisms for upgrades in place within a VM. Azure even allows for the kind of licensing upgrade you want. Basically, following the mechanism required for a VM, but you also use their licensing. Probably the same within Google.
