That's a pretty terrible error message IMHO, can you file a bug on this (
github.com/ansible/ansible) so we can report the actual parameter that is
missing.
>From reading the code:
# These variables all have default values but check just in case
if not lc_image or not lc_network or not lc_machine_type or not lc_zone:
module.fail_json(msg='Missing required create instance variable',
changed=False)
Appears to be one of those 4. We should totally say which one
errored it out though.
