Failed to Start node (12)

Greetings,
I set up eve-ng in Google Cloud following the guide. Even-ng is working. I imported a new set of labs. When I go to start a cisco switch device, it starts and then goes to fail with "failed to start node (12)". It is properly licensed. Any thoughts? Any feedback you could provide would be very helpful. I am not sure if I missed a step in my configuration or anything else. Thank you.

check if virtulization is enabled with kvm-ok command
also check if Eve has enough cores and ram to run your lab.
Another thing too, you need to wipe your lab any time you import it.
