Hello, This might be a bug, but I thought I'd post here before putting it on GitHub, just in case I'm doing something wrong.
According the docs, the accelerator_type just needs to include part of the type URL: accelerator_type > <https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/googlecompute.html#accelerator_type> > (string) > - Full or partial URL of the guest accelerator type. GPU accelerators can > only be used with"on_host_maintenance": "TERMINATE" option set. Example: > "projects/project_id/zones/europe-west1-b/acceleratorTypes/nvidia-tesla-k80" Below is my packer.json file. This one fails with the error below. { "builders": [{ "type": "googlecompute", "project_id": "project-78689", "zone": "us-east1-c", "source_image_family": "ubuntu-1804-lts", "ssh_username": "packer", "image_name": "wowza-gpu-{{timestamp}}", "on_host_maintenance": "TERMINATE", "accelerator_type": "nvidia-tesla-k80", "accelerator_count": 1 }], } ==> googlecompute: Error creating instance: googleapi: Error 400: Invalid value for field 'resource.guestAccelerators[0].acceleratorType': 'nvidia-tesla-k80'. The URL is malformed., invalid Build 'googlecompute' errored: Error creating instance: googleapi: Error 400 : Invalid value for field 'resource.guestAccelerators[0].acceleratorType': 'nvidia-tesla-k80'. The URL is malformed., invalid If I modify the packer.json file to include the full URL for the GPU, it builds properly. { "builders": [{ "type": "googlecompute", "project_id": "project-78689", "zone": "us-east1-c", "source_image_family": "ubuntu-1804-lts", "ssh_username": "packer", "image_name": "wowza-gpu-{{timestamp}}", "on_host_maintenance": "TERMINATE", "accelerator_type": "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project-78689/zones/us-east1-c/acceleratorTypes/nvidia-tesla-k80"; , "accelerator_count": 1 }], } Am I missing something, or is this a bug I should report on GitHub? I've tried multiple regions and zones, all of which include the GPU I'm trying to use and all fail with the same error.
