I am neither able to create an instance on gcloud compute nor my application on gcloud app engine able to pull instances. Our application is down since yesterday. I observed that it can be specific to my project. When I created a new account and tried from that its working fine. Please advise. I don't want to move to a different account as this already have my company funds.

Create an instance first without an external IP address. One method of doing this is to add the flag --no-address in statement

gcloud compute instances create instance-name --no-address

Step 2. Go to VPC Networking -> External IP addresses. Create an external IP address and associate it with the instance you're attempting to make. Once they're created you're good to go. The operation may fail but is easier to be repeated than manually launching instances over an over.

This will not resolve issues with Flex Deployments/Dataflow etc.
