After delployment of dl vm service of google cloud, the template is incompatible with Python3 warning

Question

I used instructions of here to create a new deep learning vm but after deployment had finished I faced two warnings. Can anyone help me with this 2 warnings?

The template is incompatible with Python3. Please fix the following errors: Exception in

If you read the warnings, it seems like the issue is that the Google Cloud DL VM template you're using is incompatible with Python 3, which is now the default for deployed VMs. Instead of following the CS 231n instructions, assuming you don't strictly need Pytorch 1.0 (not the current version), I'd recommend trying again with the instructions from Google's official docs (obviously substituting in the settings you want for the ones they recommend, e.g. 1 GPU instead of 0).
