You might encounter the following errors related toGPU quotaswhen creating Confidential VM
instances with NVIDIA H100 GPUs on the A3 machine series.
Insufficient regional quota
This error occurs when a request exceeds your available GPU quota in a specific
region.
Example error message:
RESOURCE_NAMECould not fetch resource:
Quota GPUS_PER_GPU_FAMILY exceeded. Limit:QUOTA_LIMITin
regionREGION
In the Google Cloud console, GPU quota error messages might show a
generic quota name, such asGPUS_PER_GPU_FAMILY, instead of the specific
quota type you need to increase. For Confidential VM instances with GPUs, this
quota name refers to the preemptible quota.
