Failure: GCE credentials requested outside a GCE instance - google-cloud-storage

When I try to copy my files to Google Cloud Storage using
gsutil cp file.gz gs://somebackup
Get this error:
Your "GCE" credentials are invalid. For more help, see "gsutil help creds", or re-run the gsutil config command (see "gsutil help config").
Failure: GCE credentials requested outside a GCE instance.
BTW, this was working until last yesterday.

Just ran into this as well and contacted Google support. It's occurring because the instance was created with Storage permissions as Read Only, visible on the instance details page:
Apparently this can't be changed after the instance is created (!). Our solution was to mount a temp disk, copy the file there, unmount it and then remount it on a second instance (with proper Storage permissions) and do the gsutil copy from there.

Try to do a "gcloud auth login" from the command line

I've had this before and my problem was that I've set the wrong project.
Make sure you set the project ID and not project name when you run
gcloud config set project <projectID>

Google cloud storage: Cannot reuse bucket name after deleting bucket

I deleted an existing bucket on google cloud storage using:
gsutil rm -r gs://www.<mydomain>.com
I then verify then bucket was deleted using:
gcloud storage ls gs://www.<mydomain>.com
And I get expected response:
ERROR: (gcloud.storage.ls) gs://www.<mydomain>.com not found: 404.
I then verify then bucket was deleted using:
gsutil ls
And I get expected empty response.
I then tried to recreate a new bucket with same name using:
gsutil mb -p <projectid> -c STANDARD -l US-EAST1 -b on gs://www.<mydomain>.com
I get the unexpected error below indicating bucket still exists:
www.<mydomain>.com
Creating gs://www.<mydomain>.com/...
ServiceException: 409 A Cloud Storage bucket named 'www.<mydomain>.com' already exists. Try another name. Bucket names must be globally unique across all Google Cloud projects, including those outside of your organization.
How can I reuse the bucket name for the bucket that I deleted?
I found the answer to my question here:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/44763841
Basically I had deleted the project the bucket was in before or after (not sure) deleting the bucket. For some reason this causes the bucket to still appear to exist even though it does not. The behavior does not seem quite right to me but I believe waiting for billing period to complete and project to be deleted would delete the phantom bucket. Unfortunately this means I have to wait 2 weeks. I will confirm this in 2 weeks.

Error in Google Cloud Shell Commands while working on the lab (Securing Google Cloud with CFT Scorecard)

I am working in a GCP lab (Securing Google Cloud with CFT Scorecard). All instructions for the lab are given.
First I have to run the following two commands to set environment variables
export GOOGLE_PROJECT=$DEVSHELL_PROJECT_ID
export CAI_BUCKET_NAME=cai-$GOOGLE_PROJECT
In the second command given above I don't know what to replace with my own credentials? May be that is the reason I am getting error.
Now I have to enable the "cloudasset.googleapis.com" gcloud service. For this they gave the following command.
gcloud services enable cloudasset.googleapis.com \
--project $GOOGLE_PROJECT
Error for this is given in the screeshot attached herewith:
Error in the serviec enabling command
Next step is to clone the policy: The given command for that is:
git clone https://github.com/forseti-security/policy-library.git
After that they said: "You realize Policy Library enforces policies that are located in the policy-library/policies/constraints folder, in which case you can copy a sample policy from the samples directory into the constraints directory".
and gave this command:
cp policy-library/samples/storage_blacklist_public.yaml policy-library/policies/constraints/
On running this command I received this:
error on running the directory command
Finally they said "Create the bucket that will hold the data that Cloud Asset Inventory (CAI) will export" and gave the following command:
gsutil mb -l us-central1 -p $GOOGLE_PROJECT gs://$CAI_BUCKET_NAME
I am confused in where to replace my own credentials like in the place of project_Id I wrote my own project id.
Also I don't know these errors are ocurring. Kindly help me.
I'm unable to access the tutorial.
What happens if you run the following:
echo ${DEVSHELL_PROJECT_ID}
I suspect you'll get an empty result because I think this environment variable isn't actually set.
I think it should be:
echo ${DEVSHELL_GCLOUD_CONFIG}
Does that return a result?
If so, perhaps try using that variable instead:
export GOOGLE_PROJECT=${DEVSHELL_GCLOUD_CONFIG}
export CAI_BUCKET_NAME=cai-${GOOGLE_PROJECT}
It's not entirely clear to me why this tutorial is using this approach but, if the above works, it may get you further along.
We're you asked to create a Google Cloud Platform project?
As per the shared error, this seems to be because your env variable GOOGLE_PROJECT is not set. You can verify it by using echo $GOOGLE_PROJECT and seeing whether it returns the project ID or not. You could also use echo $DEVSHELL_PROJECT_ID. If that returns the project ID and the former doesn't, it means that you didn't export the variable as stated at the beginning.
If the problem is that GOOGLE_PROJECT doesn't have any value, there are different approaches on how to solve it.
Set the env variable as you explained at the beginning. Obviously this will only work if the variable DEVSHELL_PROJECT_ID is also set.
export GOOGLE_PROJECT=$DEVSHELL_PROJECT_ID
Manually set the project ID into that variable. This is far from ideal because in Qwiklabs they create a new temporal project on every lab, so this would've only worked if you were still on that project. The project ID can be seen on both of your shared screenshots.
export GOOGLE_PROJECT=qwiklabs-gcp-03-c6e1787dc09e
Avoid using the argument --project. According to the documentation, the aforementioned argument is optional and if none is used the command will take the one by default, which will be on the configuration settings. You can get the current project by using this:
gcloud config get-value project
If the previous command matches the project ID you want to use, you can simply issue the following command:
gcloud services enable cloudasset.googleapis.com
Notice that the project ID is not being explicitly mentioned using --project.
Regarding your issue with the GitHub file, I have checked the repository and the file storage_blacklist_public.yaml doesn't seem to be in the directory policy-library/samples. There seems to be a trace that it was once there, but it isn't anymore, they should probably update the lab as it isn't anymore.
About your credentials confusion, you don't have to use your own project ID, just the one given on your lab. If I recall properly all the needed data should be on the left side of the lab. Still, you shouldn't need to authenticate in a normal situation as you are already logged in your temporal project if you are accessing it form the Cloud Shell, which is where you should be doing all this.
Adding this for the later versions
in the gcloud shell you can set a temp variable for the current project id with
PROJECT_ID="$(gcloud config get-value project)"
then use like
--project ${PROJECT_ID}

Creating Kubernetes Endpoint in VSTS generates error

What setting up a new Kubernetes endpoint and clicking "Verify Connection" the error message:
"The Kubconfig does not contain user field. Please check the kubeconfig. " - is always displayed.
Have tried multiple ways of outputting the config file to no avail. I've also copy and pasted many sample config files from the web and all end up with the same issue. Anyone been successful in creating a new endpoint?
This is followed by TsuyoshiUshio/KubernetesTask issue 35
I try to reproduce, however, I can't do it.
I'm not sure, however, I can guess it might the mismatch of the version of the cluster/kubectl which you download by the download task/kubeconfig.
Workaround might be like this:
kubectl version in your local machine and check the current server/client version
specify the same version as the server on the download task. (by default it is 1.5.2)
See the log of your release pipeline which is fail, you can see which kubectl command has been executed, do the same thing on your local machine with fitting your local pc's environment.
The point is, before go to the VSTS, download the kubectl by yourself.
Then, put the kubeconfg on the default folder like ~/.kube/config or set environment variables KUBECONFIG to the binary.
Then execute kubectl get nodes and make sure if it works.
My kubeconfig is different format with yours. If you use AKS, az aks install-cli command and az aks get-credentials command.
Please refer https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/kubernetes-walkthrough .
If it works locally, the config file must work on the VSTS task environment. (or this task or VSTS has a bug)
I had the same problem on VSTS.
Here is my workaround to get a Service Connection working (in my case to GCloud):
Switched Authentication to "Service Account"
Run the two commands told by the info icon next to the fields Token and Certificate: "Token to authenticate against Kubernetes.
Use the ‘kubectl get serviceaccounts -o yaml’ and ‘kubectl get secret
-o yaml’ commands to get the token."
kubectl get secret -o yaml > kubectl-secret.yaml
Search inside the the file kubectl-secret.yaml the values ca.crt and token
Enter the values inside VSTS to the required fields
The generated config I was using had a duplicate line, removing this corrected the issue for me.

gsutil acl set command AccessDeniedException: 403 Forbidden

I am following the steps of setting up Django on Google App Engine, and since Gunicorn does not serve static files, I have to store my static files to Google Cloud Storage.
I am at the line with "Create a Cloud Storage bucket and make it publically readable." on https://cloud.google.com/python/django/flexible-environment#run_the_app_on_your_local_computer. I ran the following commands as suggested:
$ gsutil mb gs://your-gcs-bucket
$ gsutil defacl set public-read gs://your-gcs-bucket
The first command is supposed to create a new storage bucket, and the second line sets its default ACL. When I type in the command, the second line returns an error.
Setting default object ACL on gs://your-gcs-bucket/...
AccessDeniedException: 403 Forbidden
I also tried other commands setting or getting acl, but all returns the same error, with no additional information.
I am a newbie with google cloud services, could anyone point out what is the problem?
I figured it out myself, and it is kind of silly. I didn't notice if the first command is successful or not. And apparently it did not.
For a newbie like me, it is important to note that things like bucket name and project name are global across its space. And what happened was that the name I used to create a new bucket is already used by other people. And no wonder that I do not have permission to access that bucket.
A better way to work with this is to name the bucket name wisely, like prefixing project name and application name.

gsutil make bucket command [gsutil mb] is not working

I am trying to create a bucket using gsutil mb command:
gsutil mb -c DRA -l US-CENTRAL1 gs://some-bucket-to-my-gs
But I am getting this error message:
Creating gs://some-bucket-to-my-gs/...
BadRequestException: 400 Invalid argument.
I am following the documentation from here
What is the reason for this type of error?
I got the same error. I was because I used the wrong location.
The location parameter expects a region without specifying witch zone.
Eg.
sutil mb -p ${TF_ADMIN} -l europe-west1-b gs://${TF_ADMIN}
Should have been
sutil mb -p ${TF_ADMIN} -l europe-west1 gs://${TF_ADMIN}
One reason this error can occur (confirmed in chat with the question author) is that you have an invalid default_project_id configured in your .boto file. Ensure that ID matches your project ID in the Google Developers Console
If you can make a bucket successfully using the Google Developers Console, but not using "gsutil mb", this is a good thing to check.
I was receiving the same error for the same command while using gsutil as well as the web console. Interestingly enough, changing my bucket name from "google-gatk-test" to "gatk" allowed the request to go through. The original name does not appear to violate bucket naming conventions.
Playing with the bucket name is worth trying if anyone else is running into this issue.
Got this error and adding the default_project_id to the .boto file didn't work.
Took me some time but at the end i deleted the credentials file from the "Global Config" directory and recreated the account.
Using it on windows btw...
This can happen if you are logged into the management console (storage browser), possibly a locking/contention issue.
May be an issue if you add and remove buckets in batch scripts.
In particular this was happening to me when creating regionally diverse (non DRA) buckets :
gsutil mb -l EU gs://somebucket
Also watch underscores, the abstraction scheme seems to use them to map folders. All objects in the same project are stored at the same level (possibly as blobs in an abstracted database structure).
You can see this when downloading from the browser interface (at the moment anyway).
An object copied to gs://somebucket/home/crap.txt might be downloaded via a browser (or curl) as home_crap.txt. As a an aside (red herring) somefile.tar.gz can come down as somefile.tar.gz.tar so a little bit of renaming may be required due to the vagaries of the headers returned from the browser interface anyway. Min real support level is still $150/mth.
I had this same issue when I created my bucket using the following commands
MY_BUCKET_NAME_1=quiceicklabs928322j22df
MY_BUCKET_NAME_2=MY_BUCKET_NAME_1
MY_REGION=us-central1
But when I decided to add dollar sign $ to the variable MY_BUCKET_NAME_1 as MY_BUCKET_NAME_2=$MY_BUCKET_NAME_1 the error was cleared and I was able to create the bucket
I got this error when I had capital letter in the bucket name
