+
+You may need to request additional quota to be able to deploy and use your HPC
+cluster. For example, by default the `SchedMD-slurm-on-gcp-partition` resource
+uses `c2-standard-60` VMs for compute nodes. Default quota for C2 CPUs may be as
+low as 8, which would prevent even a single node from being started.

+Required quotas will be based on your custom HPC configuration. Minimum quotas
+have been [documented](examples/README.md#example-configs) for the provided examples.
