Cannot start instances in us-west1-b.

[M Surasinghe]

Hi, 

I can't start my compute engine instance in us-west1-b zone. I get the error "Zone 

us-west1-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later."

If i remove the static IP and not assign any IP, then I can start the instance. However, I need the static IP. Please suggest a solution to this.

Thanks.

Hello,

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.

I recommend you to review this Google group thread as our engineer 'Paul Nash 'explained about this kind of rare issues.

I have been having this same problem for the last three days. Usually these resource shortages last only a few hours. Anyone from Google chime in on when we can expect this region to come back online? I understand about distributing apps across multiple zones so no need to link to that. Just want to know when my current vm will be available again without the trouble of moving zones. Thanks!

us-west1-b has been out of resources for a week now. I've tried many times a day to reach my vm, get the same message each time. I though these outages were brief?

Milad, (or anyone else)

I am receiving this same error in my GKE nodes on all of us-east1 and at least one of the us-east4 zones.  Is there anywhere I can look to see available capacity? 

Instance '##########' creation failed: The zone 'projects/#########/zones/us-east1-c' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.

The devotee's problems are the same as those of the region, the differences, the conclusiveness, and the confident nature of the mud and politics of the United States, and the priority of the que contrato or uso continuo. estou com 14 instancias parade! room com ip fixo e serviços locais .. um caos! .. acho que a solução é migrar para amazon.

We are continuously expanding capacity, so you can try again later, however, the immediate solution is to create your instance in a different zone.

I'll recommend reviewing this link that recommends distributing your instances across zones to increase availability. You can also review this other link, where you will find some best practices for designing robust systems on GCE.

Getting a "zone resources exhausted" message is specific to that request and that moment in time. It is possible that the size or type of resource you requested is temporarily in use, try other available zone (if a different zone not crucial ) or try in different time.

Unfortunately, there rare occurrences, therefor why we are continuously expanding our capacity.
