GCP Associate Cloud Engineer Practice Question

During a deployment, your CI/CD pipeline attempts to spin up 50 additional n1-standard-2 VMs in us-central1 and fails with the message "Quota 'CPUS' exceeded in region us-central1 (limit: 96, requested: 100)." Logs also show occasional throttling because the "Compute Engine API requests per 100 seconds" limit has been reached. Which statement correctly distinguishes the two quotas and their remediation paths?

  • CPUS is a rate quota that replenishes every minute, so waiting and retrying solves the failure; API requests per 100 seconds is an allocation quota that needs a formal increase request.

  • CPUS is an allocation quota that you can raise by requesting an increase; the API requests per 100 seconds limit is a rate quota that is enforced automatically and is mitigated by slowing or retrying calls rather than requesting more capacity.

  • Both CPUS and API requests per 100 seconds are allocation quotas; you must submit separate increase requests for each to remove the errors.

  • Both quotas are rate-based and cannot be increased; the only option is to distribute the workload across additional projects.
