Since yesterday, I cannot start my VM and the following error was displayed.
This happens pretty often, almost once in three months, which is not acceptable or understandable with a cloud infrastructure. I never got this issue with other cloud providers.
Please help.
Hello @luchua-bc ,
Welcome on the Google Cloud Community. Such type of error should not happened, however from time time it’s normal. I can say, as I’m working with 4 cloud providers, that I’ve got exact message for all of them, randomly. Did you’ve tried to change your VM specification as message said ? It’s not the solution, I know. However, maybe at that time that particular config had maintenance or something. If you have SUpport Plan higher than basic, you can always put a support ticket into Google queue. Second option would be to get HA for your website, utilize managed instance group with autoscaling and at least two regions available to keep HA. Google have ATM option called “Standby Pool” which is in preview. More info here [1]. Maybe that would be a workaround for your case.

The issue happened again, which is so frequently.
Thanks for the suggestion. However, I think the cloud provider shall provide what customers need at anytime customers want instead of forcing customers to do limited things on the platform.
Honestly speaking I never got this issue with AWS and I have the same usage pattern. Now as this issue happens so often, I got to move more projects to other cloud providers to keep my business going.
