I have increased the GPU quotas (Preemptible NVIDIA K80 GPUs) in region us-east1 via request. GPU quotas However, I still can not create the instance with GPUs and get the error message saying Quota NVIDIA_K80_GPUS exceeded no matter I try zone us-east1-c us-east1-c or us-east1-d. us-east1-d I have contacted them but it charges $150/month for technical support. Please let me know if you need additional info to troubleshooting. Thanks.

It turns out preemptible GPUs are not the same as (regular) GPUs.figure Based on my multiple experiments, one has to use preemptible VM in order to carry the preemptible GPUs. Don't mess up these two while sending the quota request.
