us-central1-f out of compute resources?

[Josh Roppo]

Executing the following create VM resource against us-central1-f: 2017-09-17 ~1700 PST

gcloud compute instances create "$label$i" --zone us-central1-f --boot-disk-type pd-standard --boot-disk-size 30GB 
--local-ssd interface=scsi --local-ssd interface=scsi  --local-ssd interface=scsi --local-ssd interface=scsi --local-ssd interface=scsi --local-ssd interface=scsi 
--network {...}  --image-family=debian-9 --image-project=debian-cloud  
--machine-type n1-standard-16 --tags={...} --metadata...

I get this error code

ERROR: (gcloud.compute.instances.create) Could not fetch resource:
 - The zone 'projects/lyticsio/zones/us-central1-f' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request.  Try a different zone, or try again later.

I'm guessing this isn't related to an exhaustion of compute resources(CPU, Memory), potentially us-central1-f is out of local-SSDs to attach to the VM?

Switched to us-central1-c and got the resources.

Cheers,

Josh

Thank you for posting, and sharing a workaround.

For users who are experiencing the same issue and not able to switch to another zone, you can follow this Public Issue Tracker which discusses that during GCE zone stockout user's are not able to delete or update GKE clusters. This is a known issue and engineering team is currently working on the resolution.

One of the workarounds to add resources to your cluster is posted here. We will post further updates on this issue tracker..
