Compute STOCKOUT us-central1?
Anyone else getting STOCKOUT messages the past few days?
I've been seeing a real spike in shortage for N4 and C4A in us-central1, for small scale asks like 1-2 VMs, across most zones (a, b, c, and f).
Primarily I've seen this for GKE, but also for Compute Engine and CloudSQL. GKE messages are roughly in the format:
ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED_WITH_DETAILS
Instance 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-dedicated-cloudp-111111111-1111' creation failed: The zone 'projects/zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz/zones/us-central1-a' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. 'NULL:0/NULL:0/NULL:0 (state:STOCKOUT, sub-state:STOCKOUT, resource type:compute)'.
