not have enough resources available to fulfill the request try a different zone
All of my machines in the different zone
have the same issue and can not run.
"Starting VM instance "home-1" failed.
Error:
The zone 'projects/extreme-pixel-208800/zones/us-west1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later."
I am having the same issue. I emailed google and figured out this has nothing to do with quota. However, you can try to decrease the need of your instance (eg. decrease RAM, CPUs, GPUs). It might work if you are lucky.
Secondly, if you want to email google again, you will get the message sent from the following template.
Good day! This is XX from Google Cloud Platform Support and I'll be
glad to help you from here. First, my apologies that you’re
experiencing this issue. Rest assured that the team is working hard to
resolve it.
Our goal is to make sure that there are available resources in all
zones. This type of issue is rare, when a situation like this occurs
or is about to occur, our team is notified immediately and the issue
is investigated.
We recommend deploying and balancing your workload across multiple
zones or regions to reduce the likelihood of an outage. Please review
our documentation [1] which outlines how to build resilient and
scalable architectures on Google Cloud Platform.
Again, we want to offer our sincerest apologies. We are working hard
to resolve this and make this an exceptionally rare event. I'll be
keeping this case open for one (1) business day in case you have
additional question related to this matter, otherwise you may
disregard this email for this ticket to automatically close.
All the best,

So, if you ask me how long you are expected to wait and when this issue is likely to happen:
I waited for an average of 1.5-3 days.
During the weekend (like from Friday to Sunday) daytime EST, GCP has a high probability of unavailable resources.
Usually when you have one instance that has this issue, others too. For me, keep trying in different region waste my time. (But, maybe it just that I don't have any luck)
The error message "The zone 'projects/[...]' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later." is always in reference to a shortage of resources in a zone.
Google recommends spreading your workload across different zones to reduce the impact of these issues on your workload. Otherwise, there isn't much else to do other than wait or try another zone/region
Faced this Issue yesterday [01/Aug/2020] when GCP free credit was over and below steps helped to workaround this.
I was on asia-south-c zone and moved to us zone
Going to my Google Cloud Platform >>> Compute Engine
Went to Snapshots >>> created a snapshot >>> Select your Compute Engine instance
Once snapshot was completed I clicked on my snapshot.
Ended up under "snapshot details". There, on the top, just click create instance. Here you are basically creating an instance with a copy of your disk.
Select your new zone, don't forget to attach GPUs, all previous setting, create new name.
Click create, that's it, your image should now be running in your new zone
No worry of losting configuration as well.

Description
I just tried for some time to set up or reserve a virtual machine for machine learning with my personal account that I'm using for some months on n1 with around 8 or more GB Ram and either a P100 or a V100 for machine learning and now tried for at least half of all zones with P100/V100 availability and always get a Resource Error like this one:
Operation type [insert] failed with message "The zone 'projects/lexical-list-285719/zones/us-central1-c' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later."
no resources available in zone-x. I recently switched from the trial.
Questions:
A) Is that common?
B) Is there a fix?
C) What (if anything) can I do to get a machine with these specifications, or similar performance?
I know that this is because of the zone not having these specifications available and that I'm supposed to try switching. I'm aware too of managed instance groups. But it can't be that difficult, can it?
Is google that booked out?
Possible Solutions
Currently my ideas to fix it:
multizone managed group (still have to check if my project is compatible with that)
cloud shell script that iterates through all available zones (would need to research how shell scripts works)
Anyone with experience in this topic sharing their experience with the solutions or with better solutions is very appreciated.
A good answer for me would not include any of the following:
Zone Switching (tried that)
Smaller machine (tried that and project doesn't work with too small machine)
Reserving (tried that)
Waiting (already know about that and doesn't help if I want a machine right now)
Though I recommend anyone with less persistent or urgent issues to do just those.
It's not an issue, events like this happens from time to time.
This error message means that there's no available resources like CPU/RAM/GPU on the Google's side in the particular zone. More details the you can find at the documentation Troubleshooting VM creation section Resource availability:
Resource errors occur when you try to request new resources in a zone
that cannot accommodate your request due to the current unavailability
of a Compute Engine resource, such as GPUs or CPUs.
Resource errors only apply to new resource requests in the zone and do
not affect existing resources. Resource errors are not related to your
Compute Engine quota and only apply to the resource you specified in
your request at the time you sent the request, not to all resources in
the zone.
Resource availability are depending from users requests and therefore are dynamic.
There are a few ways to solve this issue:
Try to create your instance at another zone where GPU is available (request an increase in quota if needed).
Wait for a while and try again.
Request some smaller VM (if possible), later you'll be able to try to request some bigger VM (same principle as for quota requests).
Reserve resources for your VM by following documentation to avoid such issue in future (extra payment required).
I had the same issue, I was trying to create V100s, I was able to get it working by switching zones to europe-west4.
What I tried if you're curious: All the sub zones in us-central1 (failed), One sub zone in us-west1 (failed), finally europe-west4 (Success).
This tells me it's due to the zones not having the GPU available. I really wish google wouldn't list it as an option since it doesn't actually have the ability to provision it. Or provide another way of knowing.
I am unable to restart my VM for 2 hours now, my services are down because of that error :
The zone 'projects/******/zones/northamerica-northeast1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.
I can't rely on gcloud having to be down for hours because of ressources. what should I do, I can't afford changing zone, it needs to be in Canada. I can't also afford changing the IP it's behind a DNS. I just need to restart my VM. my business is down...
What's the issue/solution ?
thank you
I'm glad to see that you solved your issue by trying a different machine type. I was about to suggest trying a different machine type and then checking whether it allowed you to restart your VM.
I wanted also to mention in case this can help other users that in case that trying a non-shared core machine type, or a VM from a different family doesn't help you can try to recreate your VM in a different zone of the same region (I've been using northamerica-northeast1-a without any issue so far).
However, in case you want to prevent this from happening at all after a given restart, I recommend you to create a reservation to make sure that these resources are available to you and don't impact your workload/application.
Finally I found this links that maybe you can be interested on: Patterns for scalable apps. It discusses how it's best to deploy your app/workload in different zones to make sure it is more resilient by being balanced and you wouldn't need to change your DNS records every time you need to switch the VM serving the backend.
I keep getting an error message that says there are not enough resources in the zone to create a VM (Us-Central F). This has been going on for a couple of days. Is there a way to fix this or report this? Any advice and answers would be appreciated!
You can reserve resources you need or wait and try your luck with creating desired VM. Changing the machine type, amount of ram etc - lowering VM specs will also increase your chances.
Otherwise you have to use other zone or even region - there's no way around it since even GCP has limited resources and due to high demand some of them may not be available. The only difference will be higher latency.
Today (15/06/2018) we found two reserved addresses were disassociated from two GCE instances.
Nobody ordered this disassociation, in fact in the activity logs we do not found any activity on this two reserved addresses.
We manually re-associate the two reserved addresses to our machines to solve the problem.
Is it possible to know what happened?
Good sources to see what happened are the "Activity" tab in the Cloud Console as well as the AuditLog entries in Stackdriver Logging. If it is still not clear what happened based on that, please file a support case for further investigation.
If your instances were in the stopped state at the time it may be related to this incident:
https://status.cloud.google.com/incident/compute/18005
By reading this link I ran the following advanced filter from Stackdriver:
resource.type="gce_instance"
jsonPayload.event_subtype="compute.instances.deleteAccessConfig"
This filter shows the actor (user or a service account) and the event type (how it happened).
If you need further information, I would suggest filling an issue here.
I am using Google Cloud for development and training of deep neural networks. I've reached the limits of what I can do with CPUs and now need to create and instance with one or more GPUs.
I've followed the instructions from multiple sources. As the instance was being created I received a notification that my quota for my region (us-west1) was zero and to request an increase.
I did so and received the confirmation email within minutes. However, when I then attempted to recreate the instance I was again met with the quota increase error.
I submitted another request (same region) but heard nothing.
I tried in a different region, again requesting a quota increase, but heard nothing. I did this 6 times and -- as you might have guessed -- neither received a confirmation email nor was I able to create my instance.
I tried the hack of using Chrome in Incognito mode, but no joy.
This was an issue a few months ago, at least judging from the S/O and Google forum posts. I would think that by now it would be fixed.
Any help would be much appreciated as I'm totally stuck
NB: Cross-posted to the gce-discussion forum
I think you should contact the Google Cloud Platform Support for this kind of issues.
Open a case asking why your quota increase has not been applied and I am sure they are going to solve this in some days or at least to tell you why your request was declined.
Notice that quoting from the official Documentation "Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default."
