Hi Komal , You need to go to compute engine in your specified project and click on create instaces and you will get predefined regions/zones are available . Only those regions/zone you need to set up in configuration . Then only you can create vm’s using gcloud. Hope i answered your question
You can list zones available to your project by typing:
gcloud compute zones list –filter "region ~ us-west"
A zone or region could be oversubscribed, you could eventually be lucky enough and try again for the zone and region and it eventually will create your vm. Another lazy/brute force approach would be to just change your zone and/or region. Otherwise you can follow what was described above in the previous comments.
I am assuming you are using the acloudguru GCP playground to create compute engine VMs. I too got the same error. I think we only have permissions to create VMs in specific regions and "us-west2" is not among the list. I tried with us-central1-f zone and it worked for me.
Thanks
