Ask HNs: Is GCP fully booked this thanksgiving?

5 pointsby samfisher83over 2 years ago
I am getting this error:<p>A e2-highcpu-2 VM instance is currently unavailable in the us-east4-c zone. Alternatively, you can try your request again with a different VM hardware configuration or at a later time. For more information, see the troubleshooting documentation.<p>You don&#x27;t really get support from google on the cheaper machines. Is all of GCP being used for black friday stuff?

Some of my us-east4 App Engine instances (in multiple projects, some in production) went down in the past week. I haven&#x27;t been able to restart any of them. One of our clients just happened to not be working today or yesterday. Now I have to move to a different region or they won&#x27;t be going back to work tomorrow.

I&#x27;ve been unable to launch a fairly beefy machine (e2-custom-8-18432) in us-east4-c since yesterday evening.<p>I launch this machine via a schedule every day at 5pm.<p>Recently moved it from us-east4-a, as i had been seeing the errors there.<p>I&#x27;ve been using gcloud for a long time and until this month I&#x27;ve never had this error come up?<p>I&#x27;m even willing to reserve an instance, but will this help?

Hmm, I was able to launch a c2-standard-8 without any problems. The e2 instances still don&#x27;t work. Maybe google is pushing us towards the more expensive SKUs!<p>Happy Thanksgiving!
