Second question is what is the gcloud command for enabling the Compute Engine API.

2020-01-01 I am following the lab specifically step by step. I did NOT have any extra accounts or service accounts appear in my IAM.

How did you enable the Compute Engine API? With gcloud or by navigating to the Compute Section in the GCP Console ? The reason I ask is I first want to be sure that it is indeed enabled? It does show up under Users section. I think the confusion here is "User Managed" vs Google Managed Service Accounts. I would suggest you to read this:

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/access/service-accounts

For the second question the command is

gcloud services enable compute.googleapis.com [I am not sure about the compute.googleapis.com but that is my guess.

I agree with Asad, enabling a service using gcloud command line would enable a google managed service account. "This service account is designed specifically to run internal Google processes on your behalf. The account is owned by Google and is not listed in the Service Accounts section of Cloud Console. "

I agree, I cannot see any new (internal) service account, maybe this is something that should be updated in the video.

I believe it takes a while to sync. Actually there is a default service account created, type gcloud iam service-accounts list to check.
