\"The zone \'projects/XXXXX/zones/europe-west4-b\' does not have enoug

Answer 1

I ran into this error today. For reference I am in San Jose and I could not start any of my us-west VM's. Workaround for me was to just create an image of the VM I was trying to work on, adjust the region until I found one that would create, and use that.

It is a bit of a problem though that not all regions have access to the same GPU's.
