Your team's deployment pipeline suddenly fails when trying to create several n2-standard-16 VM instances in the europe-west1 region. The Compute Engine error message is: "Quota 'CPUS (europe-west1)' exceeded. Limit: 96. Requested: 128." You need to restore the pipeline as quickly as possible and avoid the same problem in the future. Which action should you take first?
Modify the Terraform code to deploy smaller n2-standard-8 instances so that total vCPU usage stays under the existing 96-vCPU limit.
Submit a quota increase request for the CPUS quota in europe-west1 using the Cloud Console Quotas page.
Create a new Google Cloud project, link it to the same billing account, and rerun the pipeline there to obtain fresh default quotas.
Redeploy the workload in another region where remaining CPUS quota is available, then file a quota request after deployment completes.
The immediate blocker is that the regional vCPU quota has been exhausted. The fastest way to allow the pipeline to proceed is to request a quota increase for the CPUS resource in europe-west1. This is done in the Quotas page of the Google Cloud console (or with gcloud/serviceusage API) and, once approved, raises the regional limit so future deployments will succeed without code changes.
Choosing a different machine type or region might unblock today but does not ensure deployments will work the next time the quota is hit, and it forces changes to infrastructure code. Creating a new project gives a fresh quota allotment but requires configuring networking, IAM bindings, and billing links, which is slower than requesting additional quota and is not necessary when a single region quota is the only constraint.
