Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C
Explanation
When encountering quota issues on Google Cloud, the first step is to assess current usage and limits via the Quotas page. Once you've identified the specific quotas that need to be increased, you should submit a request for a quota increase. Deleting unused resources can help in some cases but may not be a sustainable solution if your resource needs are genuinely growing. Enabling billing is required to use certain resources but does not influence quota limits directly.
- A. Correct.
Checking the Quotas page allows you to see which specific quotas are exceeded and helps you make informed decisions on next steps.
- B. Incorrect.
While deleting unused resources can free up some quotas, it is not a direct method to resolve quota issues if your project needs more resources.
- C. Correct.
Submitting a quota increase request is the proper way to officially request more resources from Google Cloud.
- D. Incorrect.
Enabling billing is necessary for certain resources and quotas, but it does not automatically increase quotas beyond default limits.
