Cloud Build machineType

[PatrickHeneise]

We're using regional cloud build triggers. When I try to set the machineType to E2_HIGHCPU_8 which is supposed to be available, I get an error that my quota doesn't allow that. I can't find the setting for E2 CPUs in Cloud Build quota settings though. How do I request an increase for our project?

Hi @PatrickHeneise,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

You can request a quota increase for the machineType E2_HIGHCPU_8 in the Google Cloud Console. Here's how you can do it:

1. Go to the Google Cloud Console at https://console.cloud.google.com.
2. In the left-hand navigation, click "IAM & admin", and then click "Quotas".
3. In the "Services" dropdown, select "Cloud Build".
4. In the "Metric" dropdown, select "Number of builds with high CPU".
5. Click the "Edit Quotas" button.
6. In the "Edit quotas" panel that appears, enter the new quota value in the "New limit" field and provide a brief justification for the increase in the "Reason" field.
7. Click the "Submit request" button to submit your quota increase request.

Your request will be reviewed by Google Cloud support and you will be notified via email once the request has been processed. Please note that quota increases are not guaranteed and are subject to availability.

Thank you

Thanks for your reply. I followed through IAM->Quotas, but there's nothing about "Number of builds with high CPU". I checked three different GCP projects.

• there's no dropdown, just "Filters" (I can pick Services and Metrics there, but there's no metric about high cpu)
• "Metrics" just gives me a long list of properties but none says "Number of builds with high CPU"
• I see quotas for "Concurrent builds per Worker Pool" for each region, "Private Pools per region" for each region, Regional Concurrent builds per region, "Build and Operation Get requests per minute", "Build Create requests per minute", "Concurrent builds", nothing about the CPU.

Hi there, I am having the exact same issue and cannot find an answer anywhere. @christianpaula do you know what the exact quota that we need to modify uis?

I am having the same issue. Why is this marked as solved when the option to modify the quota is not there? I have modified several other quotas in the past, but the CloudBuild machine type is not there (yet I still get the error).

Would love you view on this

Same issue

generic::failed_precondition: due to quota restrictions, cannot run builds of this machine type in this region
