Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B
Explanation
When facing a quota limit issue in Google Cloud Platform, you can either request an increase for the specific resource quota or find alternative solutions like deploying in a different region. Understanding both the current usage and the requirements of your application will help determine the best course of action.
- A. Correct.
Checking the current quota usage and requesting a quota increase is a standard procedure to address quota issues. Submitting a request is often necessary when you anticipate needing more resources.
- B. Correct.
Switching to a different region where the quota is not exceeded is a viable workaround if your application does not have strict regional requirements.
- C. Incorrect.
Deleting existing instances is an option, but it may not be practical if those instances are critical for other applications or services.
- D. Incorrect.
Upgrading your account tier does not automatically increase quotas. Quota increases are handled through specific requests regardless of the account tier.
