💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using a public image name when a custom image is required

Omitting the --image-project flag when using a custom image from another project

The option custom-image-123 represents a custom image name created in the project 'my-project'. This is used to create a boot disk from that custom image.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Including the flag name inside the blank

Using incomplete image names

The correct flag is --image, not --boot-disk-image. But since the blank replaces the image name only, the correct value is the image name debian-11-bullseye-v20230606. The command should be gcloud compute instances create vm-1 --image debian-11-bullseye-v20230606.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using public image project names with custom images

Swapping image name and project ID

The --image flag should be set to the custom image name custom-image-456, and the --image-project flag should be set to the project ID my-project-123 where the image is stored.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using disk type names incorrectly

Mixing disk name with image name

The disk name is boot-disk-1, the image is debian-11-bullseye-v20230606, and the disk type is pd-ssd for a fast solid-state drive.
