How to request GPU quota increase in Google Cloud

Viewed 40910

I've been trying to request an increase in my GPU quota for Compute Engine since Google Cloud says I have 0 when I try to launch an instance. I upgraded my account, but I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to increase my quota. I've looked at many tutorials, but the cloud platform has changed ever since those tutorials were released.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thanks!

For poeple unable to find the mysterious drop-down menu to select "Service", "Limit Name" and "Location", click the upside down triangle on top of the check box of the first row of your quotas table. The menu should manifest afterward. enter image description here

If you cannot find any item listed below by changing the filter conditions of "Quota Type" and "Metric", you can try to find it manually.

Select "All quotas" for "Quota Type", after all the items listed below, you can use ctrl + f to find "GPU" page by page, until you find the one with GPU and the location is "Global".

Have not seen mentioned in other answers so in addition to checking your quota status (using the console or gcloud compute regions describe <region-name> also check you're creating the VM in a region and zone that has GPUs available.

You can check availability here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/gpu-regions-zones

This had me stumped for a bit as the quota metrics showed available quota in europe-west3 but that region only has (at the time of this answer) GPUs in zone b. Also GPU type availability varies by zone. The auto selected zone on the console VM creation page is zone c so the option for adding GPUs was greyed out.
