    .SYNOPSIS
    Mounts a PD Snapshot as a new GCP Instance (VM)
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-AGMLibGCPInstance -imageid 56410933 -srcid 1234 -zone australia-southeast1-c -projectname myproject -instancename avtest21 -machinetype e2-micro -networktags "http-server,https-server" -labels "dog:cat,sheep:cow" -nic0network "default" -nic0subnet "default" -nic0externalip auto -nic0internalip "10.152.0.200" -poweronvm false
 
    This mounts the specified imageid 56410933
 
    .EXAMPLE
    New-AGMLibGCPInstance -appid 1234 -srcid 1234 -zone australia-southeast1-c -projectname myproject -instancename avtest21 -machinetype e2-micro -networktags "http-server,https-server" -labels "dog:cat,sheep:cow" -nic0network "default" -nic0subnet "default" -nic0externalip auto -nic0internalip "10.152.0.200" -poweronvm false -disktype pd-ssd
 
    This mounts the most recent snapshot from appid 1234
 
    .DESCRIPTION
    To learn which Applications are suitable use this command:
    Get-AGMApplication -filtervalue "apptype=GCPInstance&managed=True" | select id,appname,@{N='appliancename'; E={$_.cluster.name}}
 
    To learn which Cloud Credential srcids are available use this command:
    Get-AGMLibCredentialSrcID
 
    To learn the image ID or image name, you could use this command:
    Get-AGMImage -filtervalue "apptype=GCPInstance&jobclass=snapshot" | select appname,id,name,consistencydate,diskpool | ft
     
    There are many parameters that need to be supplied:
 
    -appid The application ID of the source GCP Instance you want to mount. If you use this you don't need to specify an image ID or name. It will use the latest snapshot of that application.
    -imageid You need to supply either the imageid or the imagename or both (or specify -appid instead to get the latest image)
    -imagename You need to supply either the imageid or the imagename or both (or specify -appid instead to get the latest image)
    -srcid Learn this with Get-AGMLibCredentialSrcID. You need to use the correct srcid that matches the appliance that is protecting the application.
    -serviceaccount The service account that is being used to request the instance creation. This is optional. Otherwise it will use the account from the cloud credential
    -projectname This is the unique Google Project name
    -region This is the GCP location such as: australia-southeast1 (used only by Actifio Sky Appliance)
    -zone This is the GCP Zone such as: australia-southeast1-c
    -instancename This is the name of the new instance that will be created. It needs to be unique in that project
    -machinetype This is the GCP instance machine type such as: e2-micro
    -networktags Comma separate as many tags as you have, for instance: -networktags "http-server,https-server"
    -labels Labels are key value pairs. Separate key and value with colons and each label with commas. For example: -labels "pet:cat,food:fish"
    -retainlabel Specify true and then any labels in the selected image will be retained in the new GCE instance. Partial label retention is not supported.
                     If a label is specified that already exists in the source VM, then the user specified key value will be prefered over the retained label from the source
    -nic0network The network name in plain name or URL format for nic0
    -nic0subnet The subnet name in plain name or URL format for nic0
    -nic0externalip Only 'none' and 'auto' are valid choices. If you don't use this variable then the default for nic0 is 'none'
    -nic0internalip Only specify this is you want to set an internal IP. Otherwise the IP for nic0 will be auto assigned.
    -poweronvm By default the new GCE Instance will be powered on. If you want it to be created but left powered off, then specify: -poweronvm false
                     There is no need to specify: -poweronvm true
   
 
    Optionally you can request a second, third or fourth NIC using nic1, nic2 or nic3. nic1 example shown:
    -nic1network The network name in plain name or URL format for nic1
    -nic1subnet The subnet name in plain name or URL format for nic1
    -nic1externalip Only 'none' and 'auto' are valid choices. If you don't use this variable then the default for nic1 is 'none'
    -nic1internalip Only specify this is you want to set an internal IP. Otherwise the IP for nic1 will be auto assigned.
  
    Optionally you can specify that all disks be a different type:
    -disktype Has to be one of pd-balanced, pd-extreme, pd-ssd, pd-standard All disks in the instance will use this disk type
     
    What is not supported right now:
    1) Specifying more than one internal IP per subnet.
    2) Specifying different disk types per disk
   
    If you are having what look like timeout issues, please run connect-agm with a -agmtimeout value larger than then the default of 300 seconds
