Setting up Django on a clean VM: issue linking runserver to VM's ip

Question

I'm setting up my Django site on a clean Ubuntu VM. Gone through the process of installing the necessary tools, I follow this tutorial and apart from the additional python packages I've added for my site it's the same process.

According to this instructional guide to check whether everything is running smoothly you run python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 and it should then run on the IP:8000 of the site.

above is the instance of this running

and this above shows the external ip of the google cloud instance running this.

However when i try to visit http://35.227.49.155:8000/ I get This site can't be reached and it's double confirmed with no activity on the shell on a request picked up.

UPDATE

Since as suggested that likely google cloud's firewall might be blocking this I've tried made this port open

but still can't get it to work.

Did you configure the VM to expose port 8000 to the public internet? — Bailey Parker, Jan 22 '18 at 07:42
It's more than just that though. Google probably has your VM behind a firewall. You'll likely need to configure this port to be open on Google's console somewhere. — Bailey Parker, Jan 22 '18 at 07:47

tried the command `sudo gcloud compute firewall-rules create allow_8000 --allow tcp:8000 --source-tags=pluscolor --source-ranges=0.0.0.0/0` I get the error Insufficient Permission — Samuel Muiruri, Jan 22 '18 at 08:08
That's an issue for Google Cloud support then: https://cloud.google.com/support/ — Bailey Parker, Jan 22 '18 at 08:09
