We launch 30k+ VMs a day on GCP, regularly launching hundreds at a time when scheduled jobs are running. That’s one of the most stable aspects of our operation - in the last 5 years I’ve never seen GCP “struggle” with that except during major outages.
At the scale of providers like AWS and even the smaller GCP, “hundreds of VMs” is not a large amount.
