     1  # Handling quota on GCP
     2  Quota limits vary by region, project and account. You can view the limits for your project here:
     3  
     4  [GCP: IAM & Admin > Quotas][gcp-console-quota]
     5  
     6  ## Significant Resource Usage & Quotas
     7  These resources seem to be the most likely to encounter quota limit issues when installing a cluster on GCP. If you encounter a quota issue with a resource not on this list, please [let us know](https://github.com/openshift/installer/issues/new).
     8  
     9  ### Storage
    10  A standard OpenShift installation utilizes 768 GB of storage (Persistent Disk SSD). Several regions have a default storage quota of 500 GB, which would cause a minimal installation to fail due to exceeding quotas. 
    11  
    12  Regions with a default limit of 500 GB are:
    13  * asia-east2
    14  * asia-northeast2
    15  * asia-south1
    16  * australia-southeast1
    17  * europe-north1
    18  * europe-west2
    19  * europe-west3
    20  * europe-west6
    21  * northamerica-northeast1
    22  * southamerica-east1
    23  * us-west2 
    24  
    25  If you must install to one of these regions and cannot install to a region with a higher quota, you will need to request a quota increase, as described in [the example below](#increasing-limits).
    26  
    27  ### Firewall Rules
    28  An OpenShift cluster utilizes ~10 firewall rules. Some projects may have a quota as low as 200 firewall rules. You can [check the firewall quota for your project here](https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas?service=compute.googleapis.com&metric=Firewall%20rules&_ga=2.10895548.-966099186.1563042928).
    29  
    30  ### Compute
    31  A standard OpenShift installation uses 24 CPUs: each machine (both control-plane and compute) is allotted 4 CPUs. 
    32  
    33  Many regions have a default CPU quota limit of 24:
    34  * asia-east2
    35  * asia-northeast2
    36  * asia-south1
    37  * australia-southeast1
    38  * europe-north1
    39  * europe-west2
    40  * europe-west3
    41  * europe-west6
    42  * northamerica-northeast1
    43  * southamerica-east1
    44  * us-west2
    45  
    46  With these limits, a project can deploy only a single cluster with six total nodes (no further scaling) in these regions. If you need to do more than that in one of these regions with your project, you will need to [increase the limit](#increasing-limits).
    47  
    48  Note that these limits are for plain CPUs. All N2 machine-types have a limit of 24 CPUs for [all the regions in which they are available](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones/#available).

    50  ## Other Resource Usage
    51  ### Forwarding Rules
    52  A standard OpenShift installation creates 2 forwarding rules.
    53  
    54  ### IP Addresses
    55  A standard OpenShift installation creates 3 in-use global IP addresses.  
    56  
    57  ### Networks
    58  A standard OpenShift installation creates 2 networks.
    59  
    60  ### Routers
    61  A standard OpenShift installation creates 1 router.
    62  
    63  ### Routes
    64  A standard OpenShift installation creates 2 routes.
    65  
    66  ### Subnetworks
    67  A standard OpenShift installation creates 2 subnetworks.
    68  
    69  ## Increasing limits
    70  To adjust quotas visit the [GCP Console][gcp-console-quota], select the quotas you wish to edit, and click Edit Quotas. A form will ask for your contact info and the new quota limits. Documentation states most requests are handled within 24 to 48 hours, but it is best to plan ahead and submit these requests as early as possible. Note that requests can only be made through the GCP Console--and not the CLI.

    77  ### Example: Using Montréal (northamerica-northeast1)
    78  The Montréal region is listed above as one of the regions with a storage quota of 500 GB. Attempting to run an OpenShift install on a standard account will result in the error: 
    79  
    80  >Error: Error waiting for instance to create: Quota 'SSD_TOTAL_GB' exceeded.  Limit: 500.0 in region northamerica-northeast1. 
    81  
    82  
    83  In order to install to this region it would be necessary to edit the quota and request an increase.
