@harryliu123 👋 Thanks for reporting the issue!

@djmailhot Could you please have a look at this? Seems like there's a problem with the functions/scheduleinstance sample. Thank you.

@harryliu123, the data encoding string you used has a JSON formatting error.

yours:
encoded - eyJ6b25lIjphc2lhLWVhc3QxLWMsImluc3RhbmNlIjoic2NhbGVvdXQtam9idm0ifQo=
decoded - {"zone":asia-east1-c,"instance":"scaleout-jobvm"}

corrected:
decoded - {"zone":"asia-east1-c","instance":"scaleout-jobvm"}
encoded - eyJ6b25lIjoiYXNpYS1lYXN0MS1jIiwiaW5zdGFuY2UiOiJzY2FsZW91dC1qb2J2bSJ9

Additionally, this code sample has been updated to use resource labels instead of instance names. See the instance scheduling tutorial to learn how to use resource labels with this code sample.
