How to deploy Kafka on Google cloud

Question

I deployed Kafka on Google cloud, I changed listeners to

PLAINTEXT://[internal ip address]:9092

And when I try

sudo ./bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper [external IP address]:2181

I can get the topic on the broker. However when I try to produce message to the Kafka broker

sudo ./bin/kafka-console-producer.sh --broker-list [external IP address]:9092 --topic test

following error shows up:

ERROR Error when sending message to topic test with key: null, value: 5 bytes with error: (org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.internals.ErrorLoggingCallback) org.apache.kafka.common.errors.TimeoutException: Expiring 1 record(s) for test-0: 1506 ms has passed since batch creation plus linger time

I wonder what properties did I set wrong and how to fix it?
