Hello Google Cloud team 👋

While performing the Looker Developer: Qwik Start (GSP891) lab on Qwiklabs / Cloud Skills Boost, I encountered a “This site can’t be reached” error when trying to open the generated Looker resource link.

The error displayed in the browser was:

DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

🪜 Steps to reproduce:

  1. Start the Looker Developer: Qwik Start (GSP891) lab.
  2. Complete the setup and wait for the Looker instance to start.
  3. Click on the generated Looker instance URL — it points to something like:
    https://uto72ax6yizujyavk6sxwuinjycpuwqlpllaeiaa4ytx7gvfifq.us-east1-b.resources.bumper-boats-00.services.qwiklabs.com
    
  4. Browser returns a “This site can’t be reached” error.

✅ Expected behavior

The Looker instance should launch successfully and display the Looker web interface.


⚠️ Observed behavior

The domain is not resolvable — the DNS record seems missing or expired before lab resources became available.
