Has the GCP image for 2765.2.6 been deleted or the required permissions changed?

[vpnachev]

Today we have noticed that we no longer can create VMs on GCP using the image id projects/kinvolk-public/global/images/flatcar-stable-2765-2-6 which was working fine till recently, for example on 2022-01-25T16:12:05.288Z we have successfully create a VM with this image.

Now we are facing this error

Error 403: Required 'compute.images.useReadOnly' permission for 'projects/kinvolk-public/global/images/flatcar-stable-2765-2-6', forbidden

When I try to list the image, I get the same error

$ gcloud compute images list --project=kinvolk-public --filter="name~'flatcar'"  --uri
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.images.list) Some requests did not succeed:
 - Required 'compute.images.list' permission for 'projects/kinvolk-public'

But for reference, I can describe all images >= 2905.2.0, e.g.

$ gcloud compute images describe projects/kinvolk-public/global/images/flatcar-stable-2905-2-0
...

...

It is interesting that this version is also no longer available on https://www.flatcar.org/releases/.
Overall, this issue is similar to #456 but for the Google Cloud Platform instead of AWS.

Didn't look at GCP.

Added the lost releases back to the website.
