How to increase Google Cloud Sql instance storage size

[ramesh...@gmail.com]

Hi

We are a google cloud sql paid customer.

We are having default 250 GB storage space instance, we want to increase it up to 500 GB (The maximum limit).

How to do it?

As of now we are in Bronze support plan

Thanks

Hi Ramesh,

I believe this document explains how to do it :). It should let you increase your size. It will need a restart, but this will increase your size.

Cheers!

Hi again Ramesh,

Apologies, this document does show how to change your size, but I didn't click that, without support, you cannot go over 250 GBs for your cloudSQL instance, as explained here.

There is a reason as to why we limit customers without support, and it's simply because restoring a backup of more than 250 GB can take a long time. We have this 250 GB limit to make sure that, if something goes wrong, there is a recourse for the customer to reach someone in support.

So, while the first doc I linked explains how to change your instance size, you will require support to enable that increased limit for you.

Cheers!
