Increasing Disk Size of provisioned GCP Cloud Shell VM

Question

I am looking to increase the disk size for the 5GB persistent disk that Google provides for Cloud Shell.

I have read all the docs but, they only mention EC2 machines. Though, the Cloud Shell is also an EC2 machine when i loom at the VM's the Cloud Shell machi e is not listed.

PLEASE HELP.

You cannot change the size of the Cloud Shell disk. Cloud Shell runs on a Compute Engine instance that Google controls and is not a resource in your project. Cloud Shell is a container and you can deploy your own container on Compute Engine COS or via Docker.
