For the last 7 hours, I’ve been getting the following error when trying to make any adjustments to CloudSQL machine types or create or clone instances: “the zone or region does not have sufficient resources to handle the request at the moment”.
No reported issue on the status page - any ideas or comment from Google?
Hello bpt,
First, our apologies that the Google Cloud resources you need are not currently available. Our goal is to make sure that there are resources in all zones. We take this responsibility very seriously and are working hard to make resources available as soon as possible.
We recommend deploying and balancing your workload across multiple zones and regions to reduce the likelihood of an outage and have access to multiple resource pools when you need to expand quickly. Please review our documentation [1] which outlines how to build resilient and scalable architectures on Google Cloud Platform. Please note that you are currently using Google Cloud on-demand consumption model which does not provide an assurance in obtaining capacity. We now offer a feature called reservations that provides a
very high level of assurance in obtaining capacity on the Google Cloud platform, please see our documentation [2] for details on how to use this feature.
Again, we want to offer our sincerest apologies. We are working hard to increase our capacity and make this an exceptionally rare event.
