When trying to SSH into the machine I got a security prompt to unlock a private key on my machine. As I couldn’t provide the correct password I got the following error from gcloud:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not SSH to the instance. It is possible that your SSH key has not propagated to the instance yet. Try running this command again. If you still cannot connect, verify that the firewall and instance are set to accept ssh traffic.
