Is there a way to modify google cloud task settings?

We have a google cloud task queue with 3000 items at 25 max concurrency and wanted to modify max concurrency though I do not see how to do this. Is there a way to modify any of the settings on google cloud tasks queue without deleting and recreating losing all our existing items in the queue?

or a way to create a queue and just MOVE all current items from one queue to another if they have not started(or move the top 90% and leave 10% to finish in the old queue)? Looking for any type workarounds we could do here.

thanks, Dean

Solution

  • You can do this through the Google Cloud SDK with gcloud beta tasks queues update as documented here. This should modify your queue in place.

    In this case, use the --max-concurrent-dispatches flag in order to change the maximum number of concurrent tasks.

    The --max-dispatches-per-second flag is probably the one you want to set rate limiting.
