title: Can't use ping command in Google Cloud Dataflow vm?
body: <p>I am unable to use the ping command after SSHing into my Google Cloud Dataflow worker Compute Engine instance in order to verify connectivity to a VPN tunnel. I receive the following error: </p>
  
  <p><code>bash: ping: command not found
  </code></p>
  
  <p>on any attempts to ping a server.
   I have enabled Private Google Access as well as disabled public IPs but I was under the impression that I would still be able to use the ping command. I've also noticed that this VM uses the Dataflow network tag, but this makes sense as it is a Dataflow job. Is there a specific configuration required in order to resolve this issue?</p>
