GCP Compute Engine instance template creation with multiple NIC's and health-check FW rule

An instance template with more than one NIC obviously can't be created in the GCP web console. But it could easily be achieved using the gcloud CLI with consecutive --network-interface options.

gcloud compute --project=YOUR_PROJECT instance-templates create multi-nic-vm-template --machine-type=e2-micro --network-interface=subnet=projects/YOUR_PROJECT/regions/europe-west3/subnetworks/my-subnet-1,no-address --network-interface=subnet=projects/YOUR_PROJECT/regions/europe-west3/subnetworks/my-subnet-2,no-address --maintenance-policy=MIGRATE --image=my-image-1 --image-project=YOUR_PROJECT --boot-disk-size=10GB --boot-disk-type=pd-standard --boot-disk-device-name=instance-template-1 --no-shielded-secure-boot --shielded-vtpm --shielded-integrity-monitoring --reservation-affinity=any --tags=allow-health-check

In this example I specified two subnets that belong to different VPC's.
