VM instances (Start VM instance)

When I start an instance I get an error and I can't continue, I edited what supposedly gives an error and it still doesn't resolve. I tried several times to change the configuration and nothing, I couldn't solve it.

Console error message:

"A g2-standard-4 VM instance is currently unavailable in the us-east1-b zone. Consider trying your request in the us-east1-d zone(s), which currently has capacity to accommodate your request. Alternatively, you can try your request again with a different VM hardware configuration or at a later time. For more information, see the troubleshooting documentation."

Could someone help me please?
Best regards!

The error message points us to believe that hardware is not available in the zone you selected - based on that being a g2, I assume it means there aren't enough GPUs in the selected physical location.

Have you tried another zone and/or region? (also, I would assume a non-GPU machine would work)

I change the zone for another and it worked! Thanks! Best regards!

How did you change your zone?
