I assume that you've got an error message like:

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

while creating VM instances at asia-south1-a, asia-south1-b and asia-south1-c.

It's not an issue. Have a look at the documentation to find more details:

If you receive a resource error (such as ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED or ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED_WITH_DETAILS) when requesting new resources, it means that the zone cannot currently accommodate your request. This error is due to Compute Engine resource obtainability, and is not due to your Compute Engine quota.

The reason for this behavior is resource availability which depends from users requests and therefore are dynamic.

There are a few ways to solve it:

  1. Choose another zone for your instance.
  2. Wait for a while and try to start your VM instance again.
  3. Reserve resources for your VM by following documentation to avoid such issue in future:

Create reservations for Virtual Machine (VM) instances in a specific zone, using custom or predefined machine types, with or without additional GPUs or local SSDs, to ensure resources are available for your workloads when you need them. After you create a reservation, you begin paying for the reserved resources immediately, and they remain available for your project to use indefinitely, until the reservation is deleted.
