insufficient regional quota to satisfy request: resource "IN_USE_ADDRESSES"

Question

Totally new to GCP and trying to deploy first kubernetes cluster and getting below error.

(1) insufficient regional quota to satisfy request: resource "IN_USE_ADDRESSES": request requires '9.0' and is short '1.0'. project has a quota of '8.0' with '8.0' available. View and manage quotas at https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas?usage=USED&project=test-255811

Have already request for quota increase but I want to know what does this "8.0" limit mean? how many IP addressed are available in "1.0"? from where I can reduce the size of my network. I am using "default" Network and default "/20" Node Subnet options.

Answer 1

The easy way to check quota usage for the current project is to go to

GCP Navigation => IAM & admin => Quotas,

then sort data by Current Usage.

There are regional hard limits that you could have exceeded (In-use IP addresses in your case).

The numbers in the error message are just decimal values in the format the gcloud and API commonly use for quotas. You might try the following commands to see how the quota values are actually displayed:

$ gcloud compute project-info describe --project project-name
$ gcloud compute regions describe region-name

In your particular case 9 addresses were requested, and the deployment was short of 1 address because of the quota of 8 addresses.

Google Cloud documentation provides viable explanation of quotas:
