Astronomer: Capacity constraints in GCP us-central1 may delay or fail some task executions

- investigating
We are currently seeing a capacity shortage in the Google Cloud (GCP) us-central1 region. As a result, some Deployments running in this region may experience delays when scaling up worker nodes and pods. Some tasks may remain in a queued state for longer than usual while waiting for compute capacity. In some cases, tasks that stay queued beyond their configured timeout may fail. Recommended workaround: Configuring automated task retries (for example, setting retries and a retry_delay on your tasks or in your DAG's default_args) will help tasks recover automatically once capacity becomes available. https://www.astronomer.io/docs/learn/rerunning-dags#automatically-retry-tasks We are working to address the issue and keep this page posted as we have more updates.
- resolved
We have seen improved capacity in the GCP us-central1 region across additional machine types, and error rates for worker node and pod scale-up have dropped. If any tasks failed during this incident, you can clear and rerun them. To recover automatically from future capacity constraints, we recommend setting retries and retry_delay on your tasks or in default_args. If you’re still seeing issues, please contact Astronomer Support.
