Hi Google Code Labs,

TL;DR

A little update would be terrific for this Code Lab.

---

I found this lab very interesting and useful to improve tech skills. Taking the oportunity to get to know GCP products, but I found some "errors"/feedback:

1- On step 5. Creating a VM Instance with a custom VM Image you are supposed to inser the code:

gcloud compute images create \
--source-uri \
http://storage.googleapis.com/codelab-2015-vm-image/1ad8c7f0540790f98eaf87801804feac985676e1.image.tar.gz \
codelab-image

But the current Cloud Shell will only work with:

gcloud compute images create codelab-image --source-uri=https://storage.googleapis.com/codelab-2015-vm-image/1ad8c7f0540790f98eaf87801804feac985676e1.image.tar.gz

2- Then on step 6. Creating a VM with an attached Persistent Disk we have a similar situation where you are asked to insert:

gcloud compute instances create \
      codelab-node \
      --image codelab-image \
      --machine-type n1-standard-4 \
      --scopes compute-rw,storage-full \
      --boot-disk-device-name codelab-node \
      --disk name=disk1,device-name=disk1,mode=rw \
      --zone us-central1-f

I ended using:

gcloud compute instances create codelab-node --image=codelab-image --machine-type=n1-standard-4 --scopes=compute-rw,storage-full --boot-disk-device-name=codelab-node --disk name=disk1,device-name=disk1,mode=rw --zone=us-central1-f 

I know the lab is not about copying/pasting but I got confused as soon as I started getting a lof of errors on the console.

3- On step 14. Assigning yourself part of the Universe I was unable to dowload the .json response from the Tile Server App running on App Engine.

4- Finally, I was confused on 16. Processing a tile just because you are supossed to remove the <> from the actual command to insert on the console.

Provided:

gsutil cp <image-filename> gs://viewing-images-PROJECT_ID

Actual Command

gsutil cp image-filename.png gs://viewing-images-PROJECT_ID

Thanks,

Thanks @zelszo! I was struggling with this codelab, logged the issues, and then noticed your response.
