hardwareClass property

String? hardwareClass
getter/setter pair

The hardware class of the instances.

This is a create-time specification and is not currently mutable via update masks.

Optional. Possible string values are:

  • "HARDWARE_CLASS_UNSPECIFIED" : Unspecified hardware class.
  • "STANDARD" : Standard hardware class. Provides a balanced compute configuration with approximately 4GB of memory per vCPU and standard disk storage tiers.Candidate machine types include n4-standard, n4d-standard, n2-standard, and n2d-standard (Rank 0), and c4-standard and c4d-standard (Rank 1) (for requested core counts 2, 4, 8, 16, 32).Warning: The specific machine families and types selected for this hardware class are subject to change. Users should not take a dependency on the underlying machine type selection.
  • "PERFORMANCE" : Performance hardware class. Provides a high-performance configuration with approximately 8GB of memory per vCPU (e.g. high-memory machine types) and higher-tier disk configurations (e.g. higher IOPS and throughput).Candidate machine types include n4-highmem, n4d-highmem, n2-highmem, and n2d-highmem (Rank 0), and c4-highmem and c4d-highmem (Rank
  1. (for requested core counts 2, 4, 8, 16, 32). n4, n4d, c4, and c4d use Hyperdisk Balanced with provisioned storage, whereas n2 and n2d use SSD persistent disks.Warning: The specific machine families and types selected for this hardware class are subject to change. Users should not take a dependency on the underlying machine type selection.
