To remediate the misconfiguration “Provisioned Instances Should Not Exceed Set Threshold” for GCP using GCP console, follow the below steps:

  1. Login to the GCP console (https://console.cloud.google.com/).
  2. Navigate to the “Compute Engine” service from the navigation menu on the left-hand side.
  3. Click on the “Instance Groups” option from the sub-menu.
  4. Select the instance group that has exceeded the set threshold.
  5. Click on the “Edit Group” button at the top of the page.
  6. In the “Autoscaling” section, adjust the maximum number of instances to the desired threshold.
  7. Click on the “Save” button to apply the changes.

Once the above steps are completed, the instance group will be remediated and the number of provisioned instances will be within the set threshold.
