Difficulty: EasyManaging and Requesting GCP Resource Quotas

A company is scaling a web application in Google Cloud and attempts to launch additional Compute Engine instances in a target region. The deployment fails with an error indicating that the region's total CPU capacity limit for the project has been reached. Which action should be taken to resolve this limit?

  1. Submit a quota increase request for the specific compute resource limit in the Google Cloud Console Quotas page.Answer
  2. B
    Configure a billing budget alert with a 100% threshold to automatically elevate resource limits.
  3. C
    Grant the Editor role at the Organization level to inherit unlimited regional resource allocations.
  4. D
    Create an additional Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network in the region to automatically double the project's regional CPU limit.

Answer

Submit a quota increase request for the specific compute resource limit in the Google Cloud Console Quotas page.
Google Cloud resource quotas restrict maximum resource consumption per project or region. To increase these caps, cloud administrators must submit a formal quota increase request through the Cloud Console Quotas page.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the operational constraint blocking deployment
The failure occurs because the regional CPU resource quota cap for the project has been reached.
GCP enforces project and regional resource quotas to prevent unexpected consumption and manage capacity.
2
Select the standard GCP administrative mechanism for quota adjustments
Submit a quota increase request via the Cloud Console Quotas page.
Quota increases require explicit requests reviewed and approved by Google Cloud.
