Is it possible to create an instance with a boot disk that is smaller than 10GB

Question

In Google Compute Engine, is it possible to create an instance with a boot disk that is smaller than 10GB?

Answer 1

You would probably encounter the following error:

Disk size cannot be smaller than the size of chosen disk image (10 GB)

Currently, most public images are 10 GB or larger. CoreOS gets by with a 9 GB image, and 9 GB is the default disk size when creating an instance from it in the console.
