GCP terraform unable to deploy cluster + sic

[oshrio]

Hello,

I'm using the TF code to deploy cluster. 

When the GW is coming up I can view the Wizard @ GW (also sic key is not configured), looks like it didn't get all the parameters from the startup script.

When the GW is starting up I can see in the console log this message:

Hi @oshrio ,

Can you share which machine type you use? The default, n1-standard-4,  is not supported in me-west1-a zone (according to this documentation https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones#:~:text=Bridge%2C%20Broadwell%2C%20Skylake-,me%2...

In addition, for 6 internal NICs you should use a machine type with at least 32GB (8 vCPU, 4 core).

For example, for E2 series you should choose the "e2-standard-8 (8 vCPU, 4 core, 32 GB memory)" machine type.

Thanks,

Olga

Hi @Olga-Miro  Thanks for quick reply.

Yesterday I succeded to change the vm machine to: 

variable "machine_type" {
type = string
default = "n2-custom-8-16384"
}

and now the GW is up and running.

thanks again.
