Quotas and Limits
Cloud Deployment Manager does not charge for use, but any resources you
deploy using Deployment Manager may incur charges. For example,
Compute Engine charges for resources per the
Compute Engine price sheet. For more information,
see the price sheets for the respective products.
Quotas
Deployment Manager
Deployment Manager enforces the following API limits and quotas:
- Unlimited read requests, which include any requests made through
gcloud or Google Cloud console. Requests such as get and list would be
considered read requests.
- Unlimited delete requests to delete deployments.
- 1,000 API write requests per day, including requests made through
gcloud. This includes requests to change or create deployments and
resources, such as insert and update.
- 20 API requests per second.
- 1,000 active deployments per project. If you want to create additional
deployments, you must first
delete some deployments.
- 1 MB limit on user-provided configurations, including the YAML
configuration and any imports.
- 1 MB limit on expanded configurations. When fully-expanded, your
configuration cannot exceed this size.
- 10000 total resources per operation. When you make a change to a
deployment, the total number of resources in the new configuration plus the
number of resources from the previous configuration that you are deleting
can't exceed this limit.
- 256 type providers per project.
- 256 composite types per project.
In addition, you are subject to quotas enforced by any other Google Cloud
services you use. For example, Deployment Manager can't deploy
more Compute Engine virtual machines than the available quota for your
project. For more information, refer to the quota information for the specific
Google Cloud Platform services.
Cloud Runtime Configuration API
Cloud Runtime Configuration API enforces the following API limits and quotas:
- 1200 Queries Per Minute (QPM) for
delete, create, and update
requests.
- 600 QPM for
watch requests.
- 6000 QPM for
get and list requests.
- 4MB of data per project, which consists of all data written to the
Cloud Runtime Configuration API service and accompanying metadata.
