instance_type
int
(Optional) The type of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.PRODUCTION. :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.DEVELOPMENT, Defaults to :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.UNSPECIFIED.
labels
dict
(Optional) Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer's organizational needs and deployment strategies.

Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long. Keys and values must both be under 128 bytes.
_state
int
(OutputOnly) The current state of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.STATE_NOT_KNOWN. :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.READY. :data:google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.CREATING.
