Idle shutdown for user-managed notebook (vertex-AI)

There are two types of notebooks in Vertex-AI

  1. managed notebook: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/managed/introduction

  2. user-managed notebook: https://cloud.google.com/vertex-ai/docs/workbench/user-managed/introduction

I see that the former has a useful function called “idle shutdown” that help manage costs: managed notebooks instances shut down after being idle for a specific time period by default.

Why we didn’t make it available for user-managed notebook as well? Thanks

Thanks for the feedback here. We are aware of the request and this is further to prioritize this work. Happy to get back when we have a concrete plan for this feature.

Unfortunately, as per the update here [1], this feature won’t be added to user-managed notebooks.
