Google Cloud Platform (GCP) Cloud Shell "Boost" feature missing


When I opened my GCP cloud shell today the "boost" feature was gone! Tried all the menus, even tried the option given here : Enabling Google Cloud Shell "boost" mode via gcloud cli but still no progress. Does someone else also have the same issue?


Solution

  • The Cloud Shell boost mode feature option is no longer available or needed. They removed that feature, also I noticed that they removed the boost mode information in Google Cloud Shell official documentation website but they upgraded/boosted everyone's Cloud Shell.

    I saw the changes of my Cloud Shell memory was upgraded from before - 1.7G(default) / 3.7G(boosted) to present - 15G or 16GB(default mode). To check it in your Cloud Shell run the command free -h.

    I'll update my answer once I have a link or more information or they provide documentation about this.
