/**
 * Sends an instance creation request to GCP and waits for it to complete.
 *
 * @param {string} projectId - ID or number of the project you want to use.
 * @param {string} zone - Name of the zone you want to check, for example: us-west3-b
 * @param {string} instanceName - Name of the new machine.
 * @param {string} machineType - Machine type you want to create in following format:
 *    "zones/{zone}/machineTypes/{type_name}". For example:
 *    "zones/europe-west3-c/machineTypes/f1-micro"
 *    You can find the list of available machine types using:
 *    https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/machine-types/list
 * @param {string} sourceImage - Path the the disk image you want to use for your boot
 *    disk. This can be one of the public images
 *    (e.g. "projects/debian-cloud/global/images/family/debian-11")
 *    or a private image you have access to.
 *    You can check the list of available public images using:
 *    $ gcloud compute images list
 * @param {string} networkName - Name of the network you want the new instance to use.
 *    For example: global/networks/default - if you want to use the default network.
