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-96-624node type that has 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory, available in multiple zones. For more information readNode types.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
[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 aDEPRECATEDresource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which useOBSOLETEorDELETEDresources 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 optionalRFC3339timestamp 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 optionalRFC3339timestamp 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 optionalRFC3339timestamp 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.
