An operations team plans to provision 150 Compute Engine virtual machine instances in a single GCP region for an upcoming batch processing job. Which prerequisite step must the team take prior to deployment to prevent execution failures?
- Verify regional CPU core limits and request a regional quota increase before launching the instances.Answer
- BExecute the deployment immediately and allow Google Cloud to dynamically scale the regional project quotas during instance creation.
- CGrant the CI/CD deployment service account the primitive Owner role to bypass regional resource quota restrictions.
- DConfigure the deployment script to maintain the Terraform state file on the local ephemeral build runner.
Answer
Verify regional CPU core limits and request a regional quota increase before launching the instances.
Google Cloud projects have regional quota limits on CPU cores and compute instances. When provisioning a large batch of virtual machines, verifying available capacity and requesting a regional quota increase in advance prevents API errors and deployment failure.
