Operation on instance failed... GCP is just failing everywhere left and right

Hi, 

I'm trying to run a project using an A100 GPU and get the following message when trying to run it:

Operation on instance failed: The zone 'projects/pro-park-404707/zones/us-west4-b' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.

Small rant to end with: to say the least, GCP has been extremely disappointing. So many cryptic error messages, nothing really works. I guess we just have to migrate to something more stable, didn't have any issues ever with Azure, so probably going back to that, thought Google would nail their AI platform but that seems to not be the case at all 😞

UPDATE:
When trying to use two T4s instead the following happens:


Operation on instance failed: Quota 'NVIDIA_T4_GPUS' exceeded. Limit: 1.0 in region us-west4.

What a joke... (and yes they approved a quota increase weeks ago, but yeah, just a shit show at this point)
