In this case, Fedora Server isn’t one of the choices available for Compute, those are what are available:

Note: Fedora CoreOS is not like your desktop OS, it’s a minimal OS to run containers (and kubernetes).  If you are looking for something that use fedora tools similar to the Desktop OS you’ve used (rpm, dnf, etc), you’ll need to follow these instructions:

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/import/import-existing-image#console

And use the images available here:

I’ve never don’t this, I don’t have a GCP account, so perhaps there are others on this list who can comment.  You might get more mileage out of using one of the supported OSs.  I suggest CentOS Stream 9, it will be quite similar to Fedora Server.
