I am working with GPU supported VMs on GCP Compute Engine.
As OS I use a container optimized version (COS 89-16108.403.47 LTS), which supports simple GPU driver installation by running 'cos-extensions install gpu' via SSH (see Google doc).
This had worked perfectly so far until I started getting an error message saying that the download of some driver signature fails (see full error message below) a couple of days ago and I couldn't get it to work ever since.
Can someone either confirm that I am experiencing a bug here or help me fix this problem?
Many thanks in advance!

This seems to be a known issue, you can find it reported here and a similar thread with workarounds here.
Looks like there is a delay between the release of new COS version and release of updated drivers.
However, I ran cos-extensions list just now, and it seems there are drivers available:
$ cos-extensions list
Available extensions for COS version 89-16108.403.47:
[gpu]
450.119.04 [default]
450.80.02
And signatures as well:
