I am having problem with connecting to my new instance directly from the browser. This is literally a new instance of Fedora OS so I have not configured anything. It doesn't work out of the box.
I have other servers with OS like Debian 10 (Buster) and they seem to work fine when connecting through SSH.
Here are the server specs that I am using for the VM:
Machine type: e2-medium (2 vCPUs, 4 GB memory)
CPU platform: Intel Broadwell
Zone: us-central1-a
OS Image: fedora-coreos-34-20210904-3-0-gcp-x86-64
Disk Size: 30GB
Disk Type: SSD
Here are the logs from the serial port: (Link to entire log from serial port)

Here's what I have tried so far:
Following this question, I tried to manually add SSH key to my instance meta data but that doesn't seem to work as well. When I try to connect through SSH, I get the following error:
Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
I have also tried to connect through Google's OS Login console and it still doesn't connect for some reason. Here's the console output for that:
gcloud beta compute ssh --zone "us-central1-a" "instance-1" --project "XXX"
Warning: Permanently added 'compute.178891790600165087' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts.
XXX@123.456.789.123: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic).
ERROR: (gcloud.beta.compute.ssh) [/usr/bin/ssh] exited with return code [255].
Adding public key to instance metadata by the username core seems to solve the issue. Any other username is rejected.
ssh-keygen -t ed25519ssh -i <KEY_FILE> core@<INSTANCE_PUBLIC_IP>More information about this issue can also be found here.
