Can you just pass it after the --? Otherwise I think you need to escape the "s in order to get them to pass to the command instead of being evaluated by bash.

I've been trying different variations over the week while working on other stuff and I've finally found something that seems to work 😅

Unfortunately it looks like it doesn't help resolve our issue https://gitlab.com/redhat/services/products/image-builder/ci/osbuild-composer/-/jobs/7807093869
I'm going to try something else.

I was unable to come into agreement with the gcloud command so I've decided to implement our own retry mechanism which worked when I tested it on the side, I hope other tests are fine with it as well. Here is where it helped prevent the timeout https://gitlab.com/redhat/services/products/image-builder/ci/osbuild-composer/-/jobs/7809695856
