packer and GCloud integration

[Dimitar Dimov]

I've been using the tools from HashiCorp (Packer and Terraform) to create images and then build VMs by using Jenkins on AWS. Now I have a project that is on GCloud and I have successfully configured Terraform to create a VM but when I try to run packer I get the following error root@packer packer]# packer build createImage.json

googlecompute output will be in this color.

This is my createImage.json

{
 "variables": {
    "project_id": "persuasive-axe-264518"
  },
 "builders": [
    {
      "type": "googlecompute",
      "region": "europe-west1",
      "zone": "europe-west1-b",
      "project_id": "{{user `project_id`}}",
      "source_image_family": "centos-7",
      "image_name": "My-Test-Image",
      "disk_size": 10,
      "machine_type": "f1-micro",
      "ssh_username": "centos"
    }
  ]
}

I should mention that the service account that I am using is even given a owner permission just to be sure that I have no issues with the permissions. Does anybody has any idea why I have this issue while on AWS it works great.

Try using source_image instead of source_image_family and point out the exact image. Also verify that you can launch an instance from that image with the gcloud command on the same host running Packer with the same credentials.
