GCP: Cannot create any VM with GPU -> No capacity

cloud_IaaS

I subscribed to GCP and received the $300 credits. Then I upgraded my account to "paid account". Next, I increased the limit for multiple VM types with GPU, in multiple regions, and received approval emails.

I tried creating a VM with GPU in different regions, in all zones, with different configurations (T4, P4, etc), but all what I am getting is Operation type [insert] failed with message "The zone 'projects/xxxxxx/zones/us-central1-a' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later."
That's only one example. As mentioned, I tried multiple regions/zones/config combinations, but no luck. Am I doing anything wrong???

You're not alone, we've been trying to start an existing GPU instance since the 11th of December. Regardless of region or zone, instances with a GPU are not able to start.

It's absolutely unbelievable that Google would allow this to happen. The sole purpose of using a public cloud is to protect against infrastructure and capacity related issues. A temporary lack of capacity is acceptable but this has spanned weeks and doesn't seem to be isolated to a particular region.

The responses we've had from Google's support have been diabolical and outright lies at times. We were even told they had no persistent SSD storage available in eu-west4. How can this be allowed to happen? Google's capacity planning is shocking and demonstrates once again that public clouds are not what they're advertised to be.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
