Google Cloud account setup

If you don't already have a Google Cloud account, create an account or use an existing account.

Configure your credentials locally (see official documentation)

⚠️ You must authenticate using Application Default Credentials such as:

$ gcloud auth application-default login

Otherwise Google API won't be able to use "classic" gcloud auth login credentials.

Quotas

You may need to increase quota to create the desired instance type. If you get an error related to quota, see:

• Google Cloud Quota doc to update your quotas.
• Your account Quota dashboard
