Resource: MachineTypeRepresents a Machine Type resource.
You can use specific machine types for your VM instances based on performance and pricing requirements. For more information, read Machine Types.

kind
string
[Output Only] The type of the resource. Always compute#machineType
for machine 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 in RFC3339 text format.
name
string
[Output Only] Name of the resource.
description
string
[Output Only] An optional textual description of the resource.
guestCpus
integer
[Output Only] The number of virtual CPUs that are available to the instance.
memoryMb
integer
[Output Only] The amount of physical memory available to the instance, defined in MB.
imageSpaceGb
integer
[Deprecated] This property is deprecated and will never be populated with any relevant values.
maximumPersistentDisks
integer
[Output Only] Maximum persistent disks allowed.
maximumPersistentDisksSizeGb
string (int64 format)
[Output Only] Maximum total persistent disks size (GB) allowed.
deprecated
object
[Output Only] The deprecation status associated with this machine type. Only applicable if the machine type is unavailable.
deprecated.state
enum
The deprecation state of this resource. This can be ACTIVE
, DEPRECATED
, OBSOLETE
, or DELETED
. Operations which communicate the end of life date for an image, can use ACTIVE
. Operations which create a new resource using a DEPRECATED
resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which use OBSOLETE
or DELETED
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 optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DEPRECATED
. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
deprecated.obsolete
string
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to OBSOLETE
. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
deprecated.deleted
string
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DELETED
. 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 machine type resides, such as us-central1-a.
selfLink
string
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
accelerators[]
object
[Output Only] A list of accelerator configurations assigned to this machine type.
accelerators[].guestAcceleratorType
string
The accelerator type resource name, not a full URL, e.g. nvidia-tesla-t4
.
accelerators[].guestAcceleratorCount
integer
Number of accelerator cards exposed to the guest.
architecture
enum
[Output Only] The architecture of the machine type.
