Ssh – Google Console SSH from the Browser will not connect

google-cloud-platformgoogle-compute-enginessh

I have this VM instance in Google Console. The instance was created in project within another organization, then assigned to my email address.

I was assigned all admin related roles in IAM

I tried to access the instance directly via Browser and failed.

I keep getting an error on Console SSH from the Browser

I then tried adding a key and connecting directly. I tried using PuTTy in Windows as well as terminal in Ubuntu.

I have tried adding a key to the project

I have tried adding a key to the instance directly

All I get from the instance is "Too many authentication failures" in Ubuntu and "refused our key" in PuTTy

Server has network setting:
Ingress : Allow SSH from anywhere : Apply to all : IP ranges: 0.0.0.0/0 : tcp:22 : Allow

I am able to access several other instances with no issues, so this issue has left me stumped!

According to your description, it seems your instance is using the os-login feature, since you mention that the instance was created in project within another organization, if that the case you are missing some roles in your user account within the project and role under the organization level as well (not sure if this already applied in the organization level)

1- For your email address, you need to have the iam.serviceAccountUser and one of the following login roles:

The compute.osLogin role, which does not grant administrator permissions
The compute.osAdminLogin role, which grants administrator permissions

2- On the organization level they need to have compute.osLoginExternalUser role to allow external users outside of your organization access their instances.

In Case you are not using the os-login feature, I suggest you to check the Guest environment if its running correctly.

Ubuntu – New SSH Connection failed Google Cloud VM

Finally, this resolved my problem: I am able to log in from the browser and new keys

If you're seeing this on Debian 8 or 9, the most likely reason for this is that the google-compute-engine.* packages that allow SSH access to the instance has been removed by apt-get autoremove.

If you have an open SSH connection to the machine or can use a tool like gcloud, running apt-get update && sudo apt-get install gce-compute-image-packages should fix this.

If you no longer have any SSH access, there is a procedure available on the GCP docs site that can be used to restore it.

Ssh – default ssh is not working from GCP Console and browser crashes or hang

I just experienced the same problem and was able to fix it.

This is going to sound stupid, 
but it stop the instance and start it again 
on the instance page.

and the google cloud ssh window works again.'

No access from console SSH, it's completely google managed and they should have the free answer as it's a problem on their side instead of dumping to offsite Q&A as a policy.

I did have also have an error 13 for a while, simply trying to open the window again and again. If it wasn't that they hosted dot.llc and AWS wasn't, I'd be on the less user-friendly but more stable AWS.

IF this doesn't work I think the solution is to attach the volume to another instance, basically redoing all the network, IP, DNS, etc. either that or reload all the YUM instances and pull from a back-up. This is a severe approach though, have some instances backed up, I hope I never need to use them. Looks confusing.

Simply intolerable, where I come from it's firing someone if a production server is down and the answer is "We'll get back to you in 24-hours." or the hundred bucks.

But the turn it off and on again works on the cloud (shudders)

That it'd go down in the first place is bad. I've never ever had to turn off a linux server and back on again to fix something before.
