Packer build timing out still after a lot of effort.

A paragraph or two about the issue you're experiencing.

Trying to create a custom image in GCP. Times out every time. Spent hours trying to find the problem. Ended up being reduced down to the simple example in the documentation. Found here: https://www.packer.io/plugins/builders/googlecompute
Still timing out. Cheers
