For each node, you can create a maximum of 110 pods. This
includes pods running add-on services.
For bundled load balancing mode, you can create a maximum of
500 LoadBalancer services. For more information, see
scaling limits.
For each Google Cloud project:
Each user cluster must have a unique name across all admin clusters that
are within a single Google Cloud project.
You can register a maximum of 15 user clusters by
default. To register more clusters in GKE Hub, you can submit a request to
increase your quota in the Google Cloud console:
