AssignNotebookRuntime when creating an env in Colab Enterprise

Since 09/06, I haven’t been able to create an environment in us-central1 on a g2-standard-4 machine on Colab Enterprise. The error that appears is:

AssignNotebookRuntime

No available zone found for runtime in location us-central1. Please try again later. If you still experience errors, contact Vertex AI.

Hi @MateusGNFerro,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

It appears you are encountering an issue with creating a machine in the us-central1 region on Google Colab Enterprise, specifically with the g2-standard-4 machine type. The error message indicates that there is currently no available zone in this region that can accommodate the requested machine type. With regard to this, you can consider the following, which might help you answer your current situation.

Check Availability: Confirm the status of g2-standard-4 machines in the Google Cloud Console. If availability is limited in the us-central1 region, consider selecting an alternative region or zone where the machine type might be available.

Limitations: Review the documentation of the G2 GPUs to understand limitations or specific configuration requirements associated with the g2-standard-4 machines. Additionally, consulting the documentation can help identify any prerequisites or compatibility issues that need to be addressed before use.

Alternative Solutions: Resource unavailability can sometimes be temporary. If possible, wait a while and attempt to create the environment again later, as the resources might become available. Also, you might want to explore other machine types or configurations that are available in the us-central1 region or select a different region with similar capabilities.

I hope the above information is helpful.
