I am trying to restart an instance that has been shut down for about a week, however it will not start, I get the error message:
Starting VM instance 'gc-custom-europe-west2-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' failed. Error: The zone 'projects/XXX/zones/europe-west2-c' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
There are no incidents reported that I can see, could anyone advise please?
You can control status of Google Cloud at Google Cloud Status Dashboard, but this isn't an issue, let me provide you some explanations:
When you stop an instance it releases some resources like vCPU and memory.
When you start an instance (or change it) it requests resources like vCPU and memory back and if there's not enough resources available in the zone you'll get an error message:
Error: Starting VM instance "INSTANCE_NAME" failed. Error: The zone 'projects/XXXX/zones/ZONE' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
more information available in the documentation:
If you receive a resource error (such as ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED
or ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED_WITH_DETAILS) when requesting new
resources, it means that the zone cannot currently accommodate your
request. This error is due to Compute Engine resource obtainability,
and is not due to your Compute Engine quota.
Resource availability are depending from users requests and therefore are dynamic.
There are a few ways to solve such issue without moving it to another zone:
Move your VM instance to another zone.
Wait for a while and try to start your VM instance again.
Reserve resources for your VM by following documentation to avoid such issue in future (extra payment required):
Create reservations for Virtual Machine (VM) instances in a specific
zone, using custom or predefined machine types, with or without
additional GPUs or local SSDs, to ensure resources are available for
your workloads when you need them. After you create a reservation, you
begin paying for the reserved resources immediately, and they remain
available for your project to use indefinitely, until the reservation
is deleted.
To protect data on your VM you can create a snapshot before making any changes.
You could try changing the instance form zone, let me provide you with the instructions for you to do so:
1.Go to Google Cloud Platform >>> Compute Engine
2.Go to Snapshots >>> create a snapshot >>> Select your Compute Engine instance
3.Once snapshot is completed click on snapshot.
4.Under "snapshot details". There, on the top, just click create instance. Here you are basically creating an instance with a copy of your disk.
5.Select your new zone setup previous setting, create new name.
6.Click create, at this point your image should now be running in the new zone

I'm trying some stuff on Google Cloud and I have the following issue. Some days ago I created a Deep Learning VM with Compute Engine, with 8 vCPU and 1 Tesla K80 GPU. All worked fine, but now I want to try another GPU with different memory size. So, I deleted the VM instance (from Compute Engine -> VM instances) and I also deleted the deployment from Deployment manager. Nevertheless, when I try to create a new VM, I get an error message referring to the fact that I no more resources available and in fact, in the quotas page, I still see the GPU usage to 1 (with a limit of 1, that's why I can't create a new instance). Does anyone knows what could be the problem? Do I just have to wait? Thank you everyone!
If you receive a resource error (such as ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED or ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED_WITH_DETAILS) when requesting new resources, it means that the zone cannot currently accommodate your request.
This error is due to the availability of Compute Engine resources in the zone, So, you could try to create the resources in another zone in the region or in another region.
You can search another available zone on this document: Available regions and zones
If possible, change the shape of the VM you are requesting. It's easier to get smaller machine types than larger ones. A change to your request, such as reducing the number of GPUs or using a custom VM with less memory or vCPUs, might allow your request to proceed.
Also, you can create reservations for Virtual Machine (VM) instances in a specific zone, using custom or predefined machine types, with or without additional GPUs or local SSDs, to ensure resources are available for your workloads when you need them.

I am trying to create a server in Location Mumbai for past 2 months , I am getting Error in all 3 a,b,c zones.
When will the servers will be available in mumbai ?
I assume that you've got an error message like:
The zone 'projects/XXX/zones/asia-south1-x' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
while creating VM instances at asia-south1-a, asia-south1-b and asia-south1-c.
It's not an issue. Have a look at the documentation to find more details:

I am getting ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED error for all three asia-south1 region from last 24 hours. It is new gcp account created 4-5 days, and yesterday created project and am trying to launch new instance in asia-south1, but every time I am getting this error for all three zones.
I tried with my another organisation which I am using from last 1 years and able to launch instance in asia-south1. Not sure why this is happening for only new project.
The zone 'projects/<PROJECT_ID>/zones/asia-south1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
If you see 'ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED' error meaning you are encountered with the temporary resource stock-out issue at that particular zone. This error is due to Compute Engine resource obtainability, and is not due to your Compute Engine quota.
When you start an instance (or change it) it requests resources like vCPU and memory and if there's not enough resources available in the zone you'll get an error message:
Error: The zone 'projects/thetourking/zones/asia-south1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
You can read more detailed information about that errors in this documentation.
There are various recommended workarounds:
Move your instances to another zone following this instructions.
Wait for a while and try to start your VM instance again because those issues are to be expected transiently.
Reserve zonal resources for your instances to avoid the same issue in the future. Keep in mind that reserving zonal resources requires an extra payment.
I had a vm instance running on Google Cloud, it's suggested me that "you should resize instance to 2CPU and 16GB RAM from 4CPU and 16GB RAM".
I pressed to Apply to set new config. Instance has stopped and stucked in resize process since an hour, neigher shows resized in gcloud instance list nor starting up.
Even try for taking snapshot of that vm's disk shows error that "it's being used in some operations"
Tried to force stop via gcloud, but no luck. In notification pop-up shows, resizing vm only.
Pls help me here.
The main reason for this issue is GCP resource availability which depends on users requests and therefore is dynamic. As result, issues like this could happen when you use cloud resources on-demand without reservation.
Let's have a look at the cause of this issue:
when you stop an instance it releases some resources like vCPU and memory;
when you start an instance it requests resources like vCPU and memory back;
when you resize your VM it's the same.
In case if there's not enough resources available in the zone you'll get an error message:
The zone 'projects/xyz-project-272905/zones/asia-south1-a' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later..
