A site reliability engineer is task-driven to scale up an enterprise AI workspace in Google Cloud by increasing the regional GPU quota for a specific production project. The project currently operates under strict security controls where least privilege and proper quota management workflows must be maintained. What is the correct sequence of administrative steps required to successfully submit this quota increase request using the Google Cloud Console?
- 1Verify that the operating identity is assigned the Quota Administrator role (roles/servicemanagement.quotaAdmin) or possesses the serviceusage.quotas.update permission.
- 2Navigate to the Google Cloud Console, open the main navigation menu, and select IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits.
- 3Apply filter criteria to search for the specific Compute Engine GPU metric, target region, and project context.
- 4Select the checkbox for the target quota line item and click the Edit Quotas button.
- 5Enter the new requested quota value, provide a detailed operational justification, and submit the request for review.
Answer
The correct operational sequence begins with verifying adequate IAM quota permissions, navigating to IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits in the GCP Console, filtering for the target regional GPU resource metric, selecting the item to click Edit Quotas, and concluding with specifying the desired limit along with a business justification before submitting the request.
The workflow follows logical administrative security and operational steps in GCP. First, IAM rights must be established to avoid permission failure. Next, navigating to the Quotas page allows the administrator to filter and locate the specific regional GPU metric. Once selected, initiating the edit form and providing a clear operational justification allows Google Cloud to process the request.
