Minimum CPU platform
This feature lets you select aminimum CPU platformfor your Dataproc clusters. For example, when you create a cluster,you can select Intel Skylake CPUs for the cluster's masterand/or worker instances to improve job performance.
Before using this feature, seeAvailable regions & zones, which liststhe platforms available in each zone. You can also run thegcloud compute zones describezone command to listtheavailableCpuPlatforms in your cluster's zone. For more information, seeSpecifying a minimum CPU platform for VM instances.
Use minimum CPU platform
gcloud command
To specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master and/or worker (includingpreemptible) nodes, pass one or both of the following flags to thegcloud dataproc clusters createcommand:
gcloud dataproc clusters create \ --region=region \ --master-min-cpu-platform=cpu-platform-name \ --worker-min-cpu-platform=cpu-platform-name \ other args ...
REST API
To specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master, primary worker,and/or secondary (preemptible) worker nodes, set theminCpuPlatform field inInstanceGroupConfigfor your master, primary worker, and/or secondary (preemptible) instances in yourcluster.createrequest.
Console
You can specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master and workernodes using the CPU PLATFORM AND GPU→CPU platform sections of theConfigure nodes panel on theCreate a clusterpage in the Google Cloud console.
