Description
First off, thanks for adding GCP support to cml-runner.
While playing around with it, I noticed that my compute engine instances weren't being shutdown/terminated (i.e., VM powered off) or deleted. I experimented with --idle-timeout and --single, yet neither made a difference. The instance stays alive. This is unexpected given the following sentence from the docs on self-hosted runners:
After the job runs, the instance automatically shuts down.
And indeed, that's what I've observed with AWS instances. Those seem to terminate correctly.
Here's my Github workflow for extra context:

Hope there's a way to ensure the same auto-shutdown behavior on GCP. As it is, the risk of getting smacked with an expensive bill for an idle GPU is just too real =p
