Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
When facing quota-related errors, the first step is to assess the current quota usage using tools like the Google Cloud Console or gcloud CLI. If the quota limit is insufficient for the workload, you need to request a quota increase. Additionally, setting up monitoring and alerts for quotas in Cloud Monitoring ensures that you are notified before approaching the limit, reducing the risk of disruptions. Reconfiguring instances or manually modifying quotas are not valid solutions in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Correct. If the current quota is insufficient, you can request a quota increase via the Google Cloud Console to accommodate the higher usage.
- B. Correct.
Correct. The
gcloudCLI allows you to inspect the current quota limits and usage, which is essential to understand the issue. - C. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Reconfiguring Cloud Spanner instances does not bypass quota limits; quotas are applied at the project level and must be increased formally.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Setting up quota monitoring and alerts in Cloud Monitoring helps proactively monitor quota usage and prevents future disruptions.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Quota limits cannot be manually modified by users. Changes to quotas must be requested through the appropriate channels, such as the Google Cloud Console.
