Hi this is anumanth,
I cannot create a virtual machines in GCE.. While creating it is showing the error message, i have attached my screen-shot of error message.. i will briefly explain what i have done..
--> I have deleted my compute engine default service account from my service account list.. later i created new service account..
--> While creating virtual machines i selected newly created service account, vm creating was failed but the error shows the deleted service account id is not found under service account..
--> While creating vm's it is referring my deleted service account id..

Now what i need to do? Is there is any solution to reactivate my Compute Engine default service account..
Completely iam struck now i cannot create new vms and kubernetes.

Hello Anumanth,

Deleting the default App Engine and Compute Engine service accounts, results in the instances no longer having access to the resources in the project, and unfortunately there is no way to retrieve it. 

However, you can either create a new project or you can generate a new service account and specify that for each newly-created instance, along with the OAuth2 scopes that the instance should be able to access.

You can have more information about authorizing access and enabling a service account for an instance in this Help Center article.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,
George

Hi Anumanth,

If you're still hitting this issue when creating new VMs that run as custom service accounts, can you please send the following info (privately to me)? I'd like to have a closer look in case there's a bug here.
1. A screenshot of the "Identity and API access section" of the "Create an instance" page after you've specified the custom service account
2. The equivalent REST request (see the link under the Create and Cancel buttons)

Thanks,
Eric
