Create private cloud VMware Engine NEW (internal error 13). Please advise.

[markan99]

I'm trying to setup a Private Cloud in VMware Engine (New) with a Free trial.

I choose "single node private cloud" and fill in all the other information. Tried different Locations with the same result.

I have not done anything regarding quotas - is that needed? I cannot thick anything, I just get you cannot adjust this quota"

Approx. after 30 sec after pressing "Create" I get "An internal error has occurred (e7679201-26c3-4992-9ccb-7dadebd5171e)"

Looking at the logs:

Hi @markan99,

Welcome to the Google Cloud Community!

Unfortunately, you cannot create VMware Engine resources on a free trial account, you may view the coverage in this document - 90-day, $300 Free Trial offer. Under Program Coverage:

• You can't create Google Cloud VMware Engine resources.

Using Compute Engine with a free trial account is only limited to [1]:

• 1 non-preemptible e2-micro VM instance per month in one of the following US regions:
  • Oregon: us-west1
  • Iowa: us-central1
  • South Carolina: us-east1
• 30 GB-months standard persistent disk
• 1 GB of outbound data transfer from North America to all region destinations (excluding China and Australia) per month

For the full coverage of Google Cloud's Free Trial, you may review this document - Free Tier usage limits.

I hope this answers your question. Thank you.

Hi and thank you for the answer.

Just to make sure - I cannot create a "VMware Engine resources" with a Singe Node (not 3-node) even with the free 60 days trial?

Thanks!
