Unable to ssh on Google cloud instance

I was sshed to my gcloud instance. I was suddenly logged out with following error:

Timeout, server 104.198.148.233 not responding.
ERROR: (gcloud.compute.ssh) [/usr/bin/ssh] exited with return code [255]. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting#ssherrors for troubleshooting hints.

On trying again I am getting following:

OpenSSH_7.2p2, LibreSSL 2.4.1
debug1: Reading configuration data /Users/aapa/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: /etc/ssh/ssh_config line 20: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to 104.198.148.233 [104.198.148.233] port 22.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: identity file /Users/aapa/.ssh/google_compute_engine type 1
debug1: key_load_public: No such file or directory
debug1: identity file /Users/aapa/.ssh/google_compute_engine-cert type -1
debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.2

How to can I find the issue? What steps should I take.

The error is "key_load_public: No such file or directory". The timeout error suggests reading the troubleshooting guide: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/troubleshooting#ssherrors.

The guide says possible cause for the error can be a full disk or networking problems. Is your disk full ?. You can check by accessing your instance from the SSH console.
