    Hi @bnaifer ,

    It seems you are having a quota issue. Please take a look at the GCP documentation about this:

    https://cloud.google.com/compute/resource-usage

    Hi,

    It would be nice to tell us (LF gurus) if it is possible to have a quota that fits the instructions written in the chapter : Using Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).

    As you the link given above by Luis it says:
    Important:
    If you're using the Google Cloud free trial, you cannot request a change to your quota.

    So what's next ? Amazon .... / Documentation-Course Updates?

    Hi Aristide,

    The issues you could experience by the side of the cloud provider can vary. And currently there are several cloud service providers, so I don't think we could cover all the error messages you could get. For example, I never have experienced this specific issue, but I have ran into others.

    Regards,

    Hi @aristideboisseau,

    Please keep in mind that cloud services providers are in this business to make a profit. This implies that fixed compute resources quota for free tier accounts are a common practice, and they are clearly limited to a bare minimum and offered as a sample to attract potential customers.

    However, higher account quotas, with the possibility to increase them if needed, are the perks of paid cloud services accounts.

    All right,

    You should indeed update your documentation, as is (free tier), there is no way your students
    could make this lab running in GCP.

    I noticed that some regions on GCP have better GKE support than others. GKE didn't fully create a cluster for me on us-west-1, but I switched to us-central-1 and GKE worked for me.

    Hi @aristideboisseau and @zacts, we have updated the documentation about using GCP and AWS, so it's all clear now.

    Regards,
    Luis.
