I am using Terraform to build a configuration to create a GCP project with all required infrastructure, which will be used to create non-production environments on a feature-by-feature basis.
I have reached a quota constraint for the limit BACKEND-SERVICES-per-project, which is set to 9 by default but we need 19. Manually requesting an increase through the GCP console form is fulfilled almost immediately however I want to run this as part of an automated pipeline.
Is there a way to request a quota increase at the organization or folder level which will then be applied to all new projects under that scope?
After contacting Google support with this question, we had the following answer:
Currently there is no process to increase the quota on the Organization/Folder level, neither is there anything that we can offer to override this "quota". The only possible solution that I can recommend right now would be for you to request a quota increase on the new projects manually.
To anyone with the same use-case, we created a pool of projects under a folder for which we manually requested (and were granted) the increase. We then used these projects as containers for the Terraform resources required to run the platform. This way, whenever we need a new feature environment, we provision the Terraform configuration and deploy the code to an available project from the pool. When the branch is merged, we terraform destroy the resources.
