Hello all, @User and I are setting up the CI infrastructure using the GCP runner mentioned in the antmicro blog post I wanted to file an issue for https://github.com/antmicro/runner but I did not see an issues tab. Probably because it is not enabled for this forked repo? Thanks! The issue I wanted to file is: When I did this per the instructions in https://github.com/antmicro/runner :

# Prepare a disk for GCP
./make_gcp_image.sh

This is the log I am getting:
