Quotas and limits

To reduce the risk of abuse, Google Cloud enforces limits on the usage of Google Cloud services. New Google Cloud customers using Migrate to Virtual Machines should familiarize themselves with the limits that are applicable to their migration.

Migrate to Virtual Machines uses the following Google Cloud resources which are subject to limits:

Google Cloud Resource How used in Migrate to Virtual Machines
Compute instances Needed to support migrated VMs, Migrate to Virtual Machines Manager, Cloud Extensions, and worker nodes.
Persistent disks When deploying Cloud Extensions, ensure that you have SSD (solid-state disk) Persistent Disk quota set high enough to support the number of Cloud Extensions you intend to create. For more, see Cloud Extensions Overview.
External IP addresses The migration process creates Compute Engine VMs, and can create IP addresses for access over the public Internet (such as for inbound access from your corporate data center).
Cloud Storage While you are migrating, Migrate to Virtual Machines uses Cloud Storage to hold data that is used by your applications on Compute Engine VMs.
VPC networks Migrate to Virtual Machines uses Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) for secure access to Google Cloud during migration. Ensure that your quotas for networks, subnets, IP addresses, and more will support your migration.

The number of worker nodes is equal to the number of VMs that are in Detach phase.
