I have 4 vm instances in South-Asia region in two zones (south-asia-a & south-asia-c) out of three. I can't boot up all four instances due to below error regarding resources not available in current zone or region.

I can't move instances to other region, because public IP will change, in South-Asia region all zones shows same error.

Even tried to create new instance in different zone like south-asia-b, but same error.

The zone 'projects/some-projectname/zones/asia-south1-c' does not have enough resources available to fulfill the request. Try a different zone, or try again later.

EDIT: Tried all three zones a,b,c of asia-south.

What can I do?

Yes I have face the same issue. I ended up switching to asia-south1-c. This is a recent error. I first encountered 1.5 weeks ago. If you must use asia-south1-a then you can raise a support ticket. Anyway, the issue should be fixed soon since many users are facing the same problem.

In case you have snapshots of the instances disks you can use the snapshots as an existing disk to create new instances in any region/zone. If you do not have a snapshot you cannot create now since the instance has to be running to do so.

Edit: We are continuously adding more and more resources to avoid situations like this. If your workload is predictable long term, you may want to purchase commitment and reserve the resources you will use at a discount price.
