Manage your apps in Google Cloud console

Prior reading: Compute profile configuration options

Purpose: This document explains how you can manage and configure your cloud apps in Google Cloud console.

Introduction

In addition to using the Workbench UI and the Workbench CLI to manage your Workbench cloud apps, you can also use the Google Cloud console to perform certain app operations.

Access your app in the console

You can see a list of your Workbench apps on the Compute Engine page in the Google Cloud console.

You can also navigate to the console by selecting the Google project link in the Workspace details section, found on the right-hand side of your workspace's Overview page. This will open the Cloud console dashboard. From here, you can navigate to Compute Engine and then VM instances to view your apps.

View your app's status

In the list of VM instances, you can see whether an instance is stopped or running. You can also stop or start an instance via the More actions menu.

Edit your app's compute profile

From the Cloud console, you can update your app's machine type, GPUs, and autostop idle time. To update the data disk size, please use the Workbench UI or the Workbench CLI.

1. Choose the app you want to edit by selecting the app's name in the VM instances list. A page will open showing its details.

2. Select Edit at the top of the instance's details page.

   

   
   

3. To change the machine type and/or GPU settings, navigate to the Machine configuration section. Note that your VM types may be limited for compatibility reasons if your app uses GPUs.

   

4. To update the autostop idle time, navigate to the Metadata section and locate the idle-timeout-seconds key. Update its value to a new autostop idle time in seconds (this must be between 1 hour and 14 days).

5. Select Save when you're done making changes.
