Your team is planning a massive load testing event for a new application. You anticipate needing to provision 5,000 Compute Engine instances with GPUs in the us-central1 region for a 48-hour period next weekend. What must you do to ensure the resources are available?
Answer options:
A.
Write a Terraform script to provision the instances; Terraform automatically bypasses quota limits.
B.
Submit a quota increase request to Google Cloud Support well in advance of the test.
C.
Use Preemptible/Spot VMs, as they do not consume standard compute quotas.
D.
Create multiple GCP projects and distribute the instances across them to avoid project-level quotas.
How to approach this question
Recognize that massive resource provisioning requires administrative approval via quotas.
Full Answer
B.Submit a quota increase request to Google Cloud Support well in advance of the test.✓ Correct
Submit a quota increase request to Google Cloud Support well in advance of the test.
Capacity planning in GCP requires managing Quotas. Default quotas for high-value resources like GPUs are relatively low. Before any massive scaling event (like a load test or a product launch), you must proactively request a quota increase via the IAM & Admin console.
Common mistakes
Assuming the cloud has 'infinite' capacity available instantly without administrative limits (A).
