I understand it's exciting to see introductions of new machine types and new GPUs, but for it to mean anything Google should instead get its house in order on the GPUs they already offer. Getting an n1 instance with a Tesla T4 GPU in any datacenter I've tried has a <50% success rate on any given day ("resource unavailable" more often than not, they just don't seem to have enough of them), which is _hugely_ damaging to our ability to rely on the cloud for our workload. Worse, there's no way for me to work around it: I'd be willing to switch zones, or machine type, or GPU type, but there is no dashboard or support guidance that'll tell me if there's any such configuration that'll be reliably available.

Because of that, seeing this A100 announcement is just a bummer, as I fear it'll be just another "resource unavailable" GPU...
