I am trying to create a GKE cluster by executing the following command on a GCE VM instance:

sudo gcloud container clusters create my-cluster \
  --machine-type g1-small --num-nodes 1

Execution fails with this error message (despite kubectl being installed):

WARNING: Accessing a Container Engine cluster requires the kubernetes commandline client [kubectl].
ERROR: (gcloud.container.clusters.create) ResponseError: code=403, message=Request had insufficient authentication scopes.

This problem is perhaps cause by the VM instance not possessing enough scopes. It currently possesses the following ones. Which other scope(s) is required in order for the problem to disappear?
