Custom Machine Types for Google Cloud Build?

[Tom Ardern]

Hi,

We have a very memory intensive, but not CPU intensive Google Cloud Build task (Building a angular 8 app). 

Is there a way to use a different machineType to the ones on this page? - https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build/pricing

This would be a great feature, as the AWS competitor (CodeBuild) also only has three machine types.

Keep up the good work!

Hello Tom,

Thank you for your suggestion. Currently Cloud Build supports three types of machine which is also mentioned in this article [1]. However I would recommend to open a feature request by using this issue tracker link [2] so we can understand your expectations more clearly. I have provided the appropriate component in the link for this request. This is worth mentioning that there are no guarantees or ETAs to implement the feature requests. However we really appreciate new ideas from customers.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately, I don't work at google so do not have access to corp.google.com, any other way to raise an feature request?

Thanks,

Hello Tom,

My apologies for that. This is the link [1] should work for you.
