Thank you so much for this. I spent several days trying every single solution I could find but none addressed this error. Your solution was a lifesaver. And update for anyone coming here now, ubuntu-minimal-1604 is actually no longer supported either. When I used this workaround the only available 1604 version was Ubuntu-pro-1604. so instead of "projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/" it would be "projects/ubuntu-os-pro-cloud/" and instead of "/ubuntu-minimal-1604-lts" it would be "/ubuntu-pro-1604-lts" This works for now and by the looks of it it's the last available version of ubuntu 1604 so if that stops being supported too this command might not work
Thanks for the comment, and the updated workaround. It seems as though GCP is intent on eventually removing the nested VM ability completely, which is a shame.
Thanks for sharing sir. I had heard all about this a while back. May have to revisit this option again because I keep having issues trying to install on my mac. I will check out your first video too. I'm using kevins course right now for encor and will probably use for CCNP Enarsi too. This will be a good way to do hands on I think.
You answered my question on the following video: AWS free tier does not support nested virtualization! Thanks. So if I need to run EVE-PRO with a high CPU/RAM/HDD then typically I'll be using the paid tier and it will not be a problem.
Hi Charles thank you for the Video. I can't find the Ubuntu Minimal you are using 1604 but i can find Ubuntu minimal 1804 lts. And it's not functioning. When i install Eve-ng and shutdown -r now. Go back to the gcloud interface and ssh it again. I have to start the Eve-ng Installation again. Do you know how i can solve it? Thank you in advance.
Can anything be down about the slow speed of the nested VM's. Whether Windows Server or Palo Alto FW image - any VM that has to nat out to the internet is super slow. I've watched some videos set this up all the way to the end where they bring up windows 10 thru eve, and when it gets to the part where they browse to the internet, they cut away from the video so you hopefully don't notice how slow it is. it's not eve connection thru google cloud either - internally speed test can be over 1 Gbps. But a windows or cisco router vm connecting thru it - is 1Mbps. Almost unusable.
Finally I have done with eve-ng installation on gcp but after adding a cisco virl switch or router the device doesn't even start but same image is working fine on my local machine's eve-ng lab. Can you suggest.
Hi, I am facing the problem with this code: gcloud compute instances create temp-image-base --image-family=projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/family-ubuntu-minimal-1604-lts --zone=asia-southeast1-a the error I am getting is : ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch resource: - Invalid value for field 'resource.name': '--image-family=projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/family-ubuntu-minimal-1604-lts'.

I tried to correct it but it i am getting another issue it is like this : gcloud compute instances create temp-image-base --image-family=projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/family-ubuntu-minimal-1604-lts --zone=asia-southeast1-a ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch resource: - The resource 'projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/family/family-ubuntu-minimal-1604-lts' was not found
There could likely be an issue with the command formatting during copy/paste, due to the way my website interpreted the command text. I updated the formatting of the commands on my website, so hopefully that helps. I would suggest deleting any previously created images and instances in GCP and trying to perform this procedure again, using the newly formatted code. After copying the commands, paste them into a notepad application on your local system to make sure the formatting looks correct, then copy the command from notepad and paste into GCP. To start fresh: 1. Search for "VM Instances" at the top of Google Cloud 2. Under the VM Instances section, delete "nested-vm" and "temp-image-base" if they exist 3. Search for "Images" at the top of Google Cloud 4. Delete "nested-vm-image" if that exists. This should give you a fresh start for everything.
@@CharlesJudd thank you very much it worked for me. I am using my free trial. However, thy give me $1245 credits when I registered for my free trial and my debit card has only $200. is that normal ?

@@CharlesJudd where are the commands?? website is unreachable
thanks it worked with me
Thank you. I was looking for a workaround for this issue. I'm going to try your workaround shortly.
The link to the website containing the commands is not working :/

hello Mr.Robert let me know if you have any success installing EVE-NG on GCP
Hi Charles !! Can you make a video to set up gns3 instead Eve? Greetings from Uruguay, love your videos
Charles, do you shutdown your projects when not labbing?
The link to the website containing the commands is not working :/
can't find the Ubuntu Minimal you are using 1604
Hi Charles,
Great video. I've seen a lot of EVE-NG/GCP videos. Is there any reason people seem to run on GCP rather than AWS or Azure?
You answered my question on the following video: AWS free tier does not support nested virtualization!
Thanks. So if I need to run EVE-PRO with a high CPU/RAM/HDD then typically I'll be using the paid tier and it will not be a problem.
Hi Charles thank you for the Video.

how to secure this connectivity, its been hacked by crypto miners then GCP stops the instance !
Finally I have done with eve-ng installation on gcp but after adding a cisco virl switch or router the device doesn't even start but same image is working fine on my local machine's eve-ng lab. Can you suggest.

Hi , Can you please suggest why the devices are not getting started on eve-ng installed on gcp?

can't open the link provided.
There is no 16 minimal
FAMILY: ubuntu-minimal-1804-lts
This is the lowest I see on the list.
1804 seems to break the connection, I used ubuntu-pro-1604-lts
Suggested OS has also been removed
this comand is not working showing some error
plz check next commets
first command not working anymore.
None of your links work
