REST Resource: nodeTypes

Resource: NodeType

Represent a sole-tenant Node Type resource.

Each node within a node group must have a node type. A node type specifies the total amount of cores and memory for that node. Currently, the only available node type isn1-node-96-624 node type that has 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory, available in multiple zones. For more information readNode types.

Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] The type of the resource. Alwayscompute#nodeType for node types.

id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp inRFC3339 text format.

name

string

[Output Only] Name of the resource.

description

string

[Output Only] An optional textual description of the resource.

cpuPlatform

string

[Output Only] The CPU platform used by this node type.

guestCpus

integer

[Output Only] The number of virtual CPUs that are available to the node type.

memoryMb

integer

[Output Only] The amount of physical memory available to the node type, defined in MB.

localSsdGb

integer

[Output Only] Local SSD available to the node type, defined in GB.

deprecated

object

[Output Only] The deprecation status associated with this node type.

deprecated.state

enum

The deprecation state of this resource. This can beACTIVE,DEPRECATED,OBSOLETE, orDELETED. Operations which communicate the end of life date for an image, can useACTIVE. Operations which create a new resource using aDEPRECATED resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which useOBSOLETE orDELETED resources will be rejected and result in an error.

deprecated.replacement

string

The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.

deprecated.deprecated

string

An optionalRFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toDEPRECATED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.

deprecated.obsolete

string

An optionalRFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toOBSOLETE. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.

deprecated.deleted

string

An optionalRFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toDELETED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.

zone

string

[Output Only] The name of the zone where the node type resides, such as us-central1-a.

selfLink

string

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

maxVms

integer

[Output Only] Maximum number of VMs that can be created for this node type.

Methods
