I'm trying to use "Cloud Armor".

However when trying to create some config (I believe it was the security police) in the console I get an error of:

> Operation type [insert] failed with message "Quota 'SECURITY\_POLICIES'
> exceeded. Limit: 0.0 globally."

When I try to increase the quota:

So now what do I do? Any ideas? Why is using this so restrictive while cloudflare is much less trouble to setup...

Asking for a quota increase is asking for a credit line increase. Google has declined your request to use the Cloud Armor resource.

There are several options:

1. Wait until you have some payment history.
2. Prepay your account.
3. Use a different payment instrument that has credit available.
4. Contact Google Cloud sales and establish an account relationship.
