Implement Load Balancing on Compute Engine: Challenge Lab - Help Needed

Google Cloud Compute Infrastructure
1

Where can i get help on the Implement Load Balancing on Compute Engine: Challenge Lab? I am stuck on creating tags. I can create instances but when I try to verify them it does not pass. I tried creating tags in IAM but when I try to create an instance it fails. I have done the Create instance a couple times but havent seen anything on creating an instance and I am severely stuck. I tried to watch videos but none of them create a tag. Only other video just gives a script to do everything and i want to learn what is going on.

Try using network tags (not IAM tags) by adding them under VM → Networking → Network tags, e.g., web-server, to ensure firewall rules apply correctly.

Thanks for the reply and I have tried that and tried again. but it still does not recognize I have created it. Is this the correct place?

It also mentions to create it in a Debian Project but I have not figured out how or where to do that.

I’ve been able to complete all three tasks end-to-end — instance template, MIG, backend service, firewall, forwarding rule, URL map, proxy, health check, all healthy and serving pages correctly.

But Task 3 still fails the grader with:
“Please create a load balancer template with specific configurations.”

So even when everything is configured exactly as required, the checker still rejects it. I already sent feedback via Skills Boost, but wanted to note it here since others are struggling with related issues.

From Set up an external passthrough Network Load Balancer with a target pool  |  Load Balancing  |  Google Cloud :

  1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Firewall policies page.

  2. Click Create firewall rule.

  3. Enter a Name of www-firewall-network-lb.

  4. Select the Network that the firewall rule applies to (Default).

  5. Under Targets, select Specified target tags.

  6. In the Target tags field, enter network-lb-tag.

  7. Set Source filter to IPv4 ranges.

  8. Set the Source IPv4 ranges to 0.0.0.0/0, which allows traffic from any source.

  9. Under Specified protocols and ports, select the TCP checkbox and enter 80.

  10. Click Create. It might take a moment for the Console to display the new firewall rule, or you might have to click Refresh to see the rule.
