Hi Charlie,
As this issue might be caused by lack of enough computing resources, make sure your GCE VM instance type meets the minimum hardware requirements for your applications. In this case, if you want to upgrade your VM machine type [1], you can delete the VM instance but keep its disks and then create a more powerful VM instance using the existing boot disk as described in the article [2].
To delete a VM instance but keeping its disks, you can use the following ‘gcloud’ command [3]:
$ gcloud compute instances delete NAME --keep-disks all
This can also be done through the Developers Console with unchecking the 'Delete boot disk when instance is deleted' option under VM instance properties before deleting the instance.
If this is not the case, then I recommend you look for help from Asterisk and MySQL support experts as this is not a GCE issue.
