Is Google GPU beta available in free trial?

Question

I am using google free trial of $300. Recently tried to launch a GPU instance as per this.

I have configured the right region. But the message is "Quota 'NVIDIA_K80_GPUS' exceeded. Limit: 0.0". Does this mean that GPU is not available in free trial? Or is it somekind of error from gcp.

Answer 1

By default the quota is zero for every one. One need to request for additional quota if he needs to increase the GPU. This form is only available if we upgrade our account. In the increase quota form it says "Please note that projects using free trial credits are not eligible for quota increases until the free trial period has ended."

Update

The google GPU is no more in beta and is shown available in free trial.But you can't start the machine in free trial mode as the quota is 0. Refer for information on regions and restrictions
