I've got the following error message:
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) unrecognized arguments: type=nvidia-tesla-k80,count=1
Fixed this by replacing --accelerator type=nvidia-tesla-k80,count=1 \ with --accelerator=type=nvidia-tesla-k80,count=1 \

Also if you get an error The referenced diskType resource cannot be found. you may want to update the --boot-disk-size 500GB and --boot-disk-type=pd-ssd based on your region. Run this in terminal to get detailed list for your region: gcloud compute disk-types list. For us-west1-b you may use: --boot-disk-size 375GB --boot-disk-type=pd-ssd \
