You may want to add or increase the number of GPUs\nfor greater performance, or, to reduce the cost of running\nyour Vertex AI Workbench instance,\nyou may want to remove GPUs.\n\nBefore you change a machine type or GPU configuration\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nConsider the following before you make any changes to\nyour Vertex AI Workbench instance's machine types\nor GPU configuration.\n\n### Billing implications\n\nEach machine type and GPU configuration is billed at a different rate.\nMake sure you understand\nthe [pricing](/vertex-ai/pricing#notebooks) implications of making a change.\nFor example, an `e2-highmem-2` machine type costs more than an\n`e2-standard-2` machine type.\n\n### Changing between G2 and non-G2 machine types not supported\n\nChanging between a\n[G2 machine type](/compute/docs/accelerator-optimized-machines#g2-vms) and\na non-G2 machine type isn't supported. If your instance has a G2 machine type,\nyou can only change the machine type to a different G2 machine type.\nIf your instance has a non-G2 machine type, you can change the machine type\nto a different non-G2 machine type, such as an E2 or N2 machine type.\n\n### Moving to a smaller machine type\n\nIf you move from a machine type with more resources to a machine type with fewer\nresources, such as moving from an `e2-standard-8` machine type to an\n`e2-standard-2`, you might run into hardware resource issues or performance\nlimitations because smaller machine types are less powerful than larger machine\ntypes.\n\n### Make a backup\n\nIt's good practice to make regular backups of\nyour instance's persistent disk data using snapshots. Consider [taking a\nsnapshot](/compute/docs/disks/create-snapshots#creating_snapshots) of your\npersistent disk data before you change the machine type. If you want to make\nsure the new machine type is able to support the data on the existing instance,\nyou can take a persistent disk snapshot and use it to start a second instance\nwith the new machine type to confirm that the instance starts up successfully.\n\nChange the machine type and configure GPUs\n------------------------------------------\n\n| **Note:** To change the machine type or GPUs for a Vertex AI Workbench instance, you must [shut down the Vertex AI Workbench\n| instance](/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/instances/shut-down).\n\nTo change the machine type or configure the GPUs on\na Vertex AI Workbench instance, complete the following steps.\n\n1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the **Instances** page.\n\n [Go to Instances](https://console.cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/workbench/instances)\n2. In the **Notebook name** column, click the name of the\n instance that you want to modify.\n\n The **Notebook details** page opens.\n3. Click the **Hardware** tab.\n\n4. In the **Modify hardware configuration** section,\n select the **Machine type** that you want to use.\n\n5. If there are GPUs available for your instance's combination of\n zone, environment, and machine type, you can configure the GPUs.\n In the **GPUs** section, select the **GPU type** and\n **Number of GPUs** that you want to use.\n [Learn more about GPU regions and zone\n availability](/compute/docs/gpus/gpu-regions-zones).\n\n6. If you haven't already installed the required GPU drivers on your instance,\n select **Install NVIDIA GPU driver automatically for me**\n to install the drivers automatically on next startup.\n\n7. After Vertex AI Workbench has finished updating the machine type\n and GPU configuration, you can start\n your Vertex AI Workbench instance.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Learn more about the available [GPU platforms](/compute/docs/gpus)."]]
