How to request GPU quota increase in Google Cloud

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!

It seems that the way of doing this has been continually changing and none of the current answers show exactly how to do this.

You need to first go to IAM & Admin:

Click IAM & Admin

Then find the Quotas at the very bottom on the left navigation pane:

Select quotas

Then go to the filter and find "Limit name":

Finding Limit Name

Then start typing "GP" and you should see "GPUS-ALL-REGIONS-per-project" (name will probably change)

Select GPUS-ALL-REGIONS-per-project

If you are using the free trial, you might not be allowed to select: enter image description here

In this case, you need to upgrade your account to paid (although you should still be able to use your trial funds).

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.

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 do not see the metric tab in your Quota page as shown below,

go to this url by changing the project name with id,

https://console.cloud.google.com/iam-admin/quotas?project=project-name-id-here&folder&organizationId&metric=GPUs%20(all%20regions)&location=GLOBAL

There you will find the GPU quota and you can select the checkbox and press edit quotas and proceed.

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".

The steps Jacques outlined are correct. But they may not work unless you clear your cookies or use a browser in incognito mode. Apparently this is a known issue for google cloud.what google cloud support said

Similar to what Prateek said in the comments of Tuxdude's answer, the correct way to do is the following way:

Go to the quotas IAM & Admin Quotas page.

IAM & Admin Quotas page

If you look at the filtering options, you'll have "Quota type" and "Metric". Click on the "Quotas type" button and select "All quotas". This is important because since you currently have no GPU quota, the services containing the NVidia K80 GPUs will not show up. You can scroll down and find the service you want, which is a GPU in a specific zone. You don't have to, but you can now click on the Metric button, unselect all metrics, and click on the one that says NVidia K80 GPUs. Those services won't show up unless you click on "All quotas", though.

I would recommend that you go to Compute Engine -> VM Instance page and start the VM Instance creation process. On that page, you should check which GPU will be the cheapest for you (it depends on your location).

You can request additional quota from the Quotas page in the Google Cloud Platform Console UI page.

Requesting additional quota

Request additional quota from the Quotas page in the Cloud Platform Console.

GO TO THE QUOTAS PAGE

You will receive a response from the Compute Engine team within 24 to 48 hours of your request.

We strongly recommend planning and requesting additional resources at least a few days in advance to ensure that there is enough time to fulfill your request.

Also, if you are using the free trial you do not have any GPU quota.

GPUs

Similar to virtual CPU quota, GPU quota refers to the total number of virtual GPUs in all VM instances in a region. Check the quotas page to ensure that you have enough GPUs available in your project and request a quota increase. Free Trial accounts do not receive GPU quota by default.
