Anyone Having Difficulties with GCP GPU Quota Requests?
cloud.google.comDear HN Readers, For many years we are customers of GCP and AWS. We've tried to enhance the quota from 0 to 1 GPU on GCP in different regions. There seems to be no availability at google for 80 GB GPU's, they want to wire me into a sales process every time and refuse to upgrade the quota. Even better, we don't have a sales rep because that person has left google. They are asking me who my sales rep is and want me to fill out forms to get a new sales rep? I would partially understand the process if there would be multiple companies involved but at which company do you have to contact the quota department and they let you call another department, i find this very unprofessional and it is their internal business to allocate sales people to follow up if that is really required.
Reading all this, has anyone else issues with GCP and enhancing the Quota? It would be great to know if there are providers which assign you the resources which are required.
I've had no problems on accounts with small spend. Filling in the explanation box well is the key.
The recent surge in AI has GPUs in high demand, and may have changed things. Everyone is short on what they want and there is competition. Supply/demand at work, sounds like they may be raising the bar for accounts without existing usage or sufficient spend
How old is your project and how big is your spend?
You need to get a sales rep so they can usher through your quota request.
It's 7 years old and in the 5 digits area, i think their process might be flawed
The process is definitely flawed. You basically have to plead to TSE that is reading your quota case. They also need to bump the regional GPU quota and the specific quota you asking for.
