The default per-project quota for Memorystore for Redis allows you to
provision 1 TB of Redis capacity in each region where the
service is available.
Quota
Value
Data provisioned per region
1 TB
For example, if you provision three instances in your project with 300 GB
each in us-central1, you will have consumed 900 GB out of the 1
TB quota for us-central1. With the default quota, you can provision an
additional 100 GB in us-central1. To request a higher quota for a region,
see Regional capacity quota increases.
Regional capacity quota increases
To request a higher regional capacity for your project, follow these steps:
Go to the Quotas page in the Google Cloud console.
Quotas
From the Services drop down, select Memorystore for Redis API.
From the list of quotas, click the checkbox next to the quota labeled Total Redis capacity (GB) for the desired region.
Click the Edit Quotas button.
In the edit pane, enter your contact information, then click Next.
Enter your desired quota, then click Done.
Click Submit request.
Per-second API requests quota
The per-second quota for Memorystore for Redis API requests/operations is as
follows, and is subject to change:
API Requests Quota
Value
Create Redis instance requests per project per minute
30
API Requests per minute
3,000
Create Redis instance requests per project per minute includes create operations (gcloud redis instances create).
Memorystore for Redis API operations include:
Get operations (gcloud redis instances describe)
List operations (gcloud redis instances list)
Create operations (gcloud redis instances create)
Delete operations (gcloud redis instances delete)
Import and export operations (gcloud redis instances import and gcloud redis instances export)
This quota is for redis.googleapis.com requests/operations, not OSS Redis
protocol/commands. These limits apply to each Google Cloud console project and
are shared across all applications and IP addresses using that project.
