Exceeding App Engine Max Number of Instances-CodePudding

I am trying to setup an App Engine with a very high number of instances. When I try to set the number on either basic or manual scaling and deploy I get the following error:

ERROR: (gcloud.app.deploy) INVALID_ARGUMENT: version.manual_scaling.instances (50.0) must be in the range [1.0, 25.0].
- '@type': type.googleapis.com/google.rpc.BadRequest
  fieldViolations:
  - description: version.manual_scaling.instances (50.0) must be in the range [1.0,
      25.0].
    field: version.manual_scaling.instances

I thought that I could set very high numbers of instances in either Basic or Manual Scaling so I am not sure why I am getting that the range is only 1 to 25? Is there some additional setting I need to configure on GCloud to enable a higher instance count?

CodePudding user response：

Setting a high number of App Engine instances will depend on your Google Cloud project resources instance quota. Based on the error, you are only applicable for 1 to 25 instances running in your App Engine. If you want to increase your quota limit, you can file a quota request by following the steps in this link.

@NoCommandLine's comment is correct, if you want that App Engine handle your instance, use automatic scaling. Note, automatic scaling will also depend on your Project instance quota, but it will minimize your cost rather than basic scaling, or manual scaling.
