Question

Difficulty: HardManaging and Requesting GCP Resource Quotas

A cloud administrator needs to request a regional Compute Engine N2 CPU quota increase for project `analytics-prod-942` in the `us-east4` region using the Google Cloud Console. What is the correct sequential order of steps required to locate and submit this quota increase request?

  1. 1Navigate to the Google Cloud Console navigation menu, select IAM & Admin, and click Quotas & System Limits.
  2. 2Filter the quotas list by setting Service to Compute Engine API, Metric to N2 CPUs, and Location to us-east4.
  3. 3Select the checkbox corresponding to the filtered N2 CPU quota for `us-east4` and click Edit Quotas.
  4. 4Enter the new requested quota value and provide a detailed business justification describing the workload requirements.
  5. 5Click Submit Request to send the quota increase application to Google Cloud for approval.

Answer

The correct sequence begins with navigating to IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits, filtering for the specific service (Compute Engine API), metric (N2 CPUs), and region (us-east4), selecting the matching quota item and clicking Edit Quotas, entering the target limit with a business justification, and finally submitting the request for evaluation.
To submit a quota increase request in Google Cloud, an administrator must follow a precise sequence: navigate to IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits to open the quota management dashboard, apply filter criteria (Service, Metric, Location) to target the specific resource, select the item and click Edit Quotas, specify the required new quota limit along with a business justification, and submit the request for review.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Open Google Cloud Console navigation and go to IAM & Admin > Quotas & System Limits.
Displays the complete inventory of global and regional service quotas associated with the active project.
Quota management tools are centralized under the IAM & Admin section of the Cloud Console.
2
Filter by Service (Compute Engine API), Metric (N2 CPUs), and Location (us-east4).
Narrows the list specifically to the regional N2 CPU quota line item in us-east4.
Resource quotas are granular by service, metric type, and geographic region.
3
Select the target quota line item and click Edit Quotas.
Opens the quota edit panel on the right side of the screen.
Selecting the item unlocks administrative actions for modifying the limit.
4
Specify the new requested limit and input a business description justification.
Prepares the request parameters for validation.
Google Cloud requires justification details to prevent resource exhaustion and verify valid usage scenarios.
5
Click Submit Request.
Dispatches the quota request ticket to GCP automated systems or support personnel.
Finalizes the submission process so the quota evaluation can proceed.
