Using SSH to access JupyterLab on GCP Doesn't Work Yet - google-cloud-platform

Question

I would like to ssh myself into a Jupyter Lab notebook on GCP. For that, I followed this guide by Google.
I already have CloudSDK installed on my PC, and when I type gcloud compute ssh --project $PROJECT_ID ... and all the rest, it throws the following error on my terminal:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not fetch resource:
Invalid value ' test-gpu'. Values must match the following regular expression:
'a-z?|[1-9][0-9]{0,19}
Unfortunately, I do not really understand this error message, as my instance-name is called "test-gpu", which was a perfectly valid name when creating the instance.
Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

It seems you have a space in the beginning of the name of your instance, please remove and try again.

Answer 2

Able to reproduce the the issue in my Windows machine while trying to access the notebook as per the doc as per below command:
set PROJECT_ID="my-project-id"
set ZONE="my-zone"
set INSTANCE_NAME="my-instance"
gcloud compute ssh --project $PROJECT_ID --zone $ZONE $INSTANCE_NAME -- -L 8080:localhost:8080
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) Could not fetch resource:
Invalid value 'my-instance'. Values must match the following regular expression: 'a-z?|[1-9][0-9]{0,19}
However, while use the command as like below in windows machine it's work as intended:
$gcloud compute ssh --project my-test-project --zone us-west1-b instance-name -- -L 8080:localhost:8080
At the same time, able to access the instance from the Chromebook using the below mentioned command:
$gcloud compute ssh --project $PROJECT_ID --zone $ZONE $INSTANCE_NAME -- -L 8080:localhost:8080
