Network interface card (gVNIC) error while editing VM instances

[riverchu2023]

I have created VMs using gVNIC with a compatible OS image previously.

But recently, I've been getting the following error while editing the VM instances:
"Network interface card type is not supported by the selected machine type"

The gVNIC is attached to the individual VM and functioning properly.

However, I cannot modify the settings of the VM instances due to the error,
and cannot change network interfaces due to them being pernament.

How can I solve this problem?

Hello @riverchu2023,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You can try changing it to a machine type that supports gVNIC. If it doesn't work, try re- creating the VM instance instead. In general, gVNIC is supported on most modern machine types in Google Cloud, including those with high memory and CPU configurations. However, it is always a good idea to check the specific machine type to ensure compatibility.
