cloud shell - boost mode

[Rajesh Gupta]

Is there a way to change the instance of the cloud shell in boost mode from 
n1-standard-1 VM instance  to a higher instance.

Hello Rajesh, 

When you start Cloud Shell, it provisions a g1-small Google Compute Engine virtual machine running a Debian-based Linux operating system. There is no clearly-defined procedure to change this default behavior. You seem to need a higher instance. What is your exact need? How do you plan to use the higher instance? More detail is needed, than provided above, and a well-formulated and complete use case helps a lot in getting your issue, or feature request processed quickly and efficiently. 

This upgrade might in fact not be needed, as the g1-small instance offers bursting capabilities that allow instances to use additional physical CPU for short periods of time. Bursting happens automatically when your instance requires more physical CPU than originally allocated. This feature might address your needs.

Hello George,

I want a powerful instance in the Google Cloud shell.  In burst mode it is n1-standard instance.  

I want to use this for building and deployment of the app to Google appengine.

My app build time is approx about 12-15 min on my local machine with 12 GB ram and i5 7gen, ssd.  

The same build takes about 30 min on the n1-standard instance cloud shell.

Currently, my build is about building GWT module (about 20-25), and it takes time to build each GWT module.

I want the cloud shell to take away my build work from my local machines. Hence, I am looking for a better instance than n1-standard.

Hope I have shared enough information.

Any pointers to increase the power of the cloud shell machine.  I did the boost mode.  Its still not good enough compared to local machines.

Cloud shell is not meant to build your app. Instead, you could use the Cloud Build service, which lets you build software quickly across all languages. Related details are to be found on the "Cloud Build" page and related documentation.
