Answer 1

The error "ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED" usually means that there are one or more resources in Compute Engine's backend that have been fully allocated or that, for some reason, have temporarily become unavailable for allocation. The best way for you to minimize encountering this error in the future is for you to spread out your instances through multiple zones instead of having them all on europe-west4-b. That way, if one of the zones is suffering from a lack of available resources, you'll have other zones in which to try to allocate those resources you want. https://cloud.google.com/compute/quotas#quotas_and_resource_availability
