|
Field |
Description |
|
type |
enum Type Operating system type. The default is This field is used to correctly emulate a vCPU and calculate the cost of using an instance.
|
|
nvidia |
Gpu type. |
Nvidia
|
Field |
Description |
|
driver |
string Gpu driver version. |
HardwareGeneration
A set of features, specific to a particular Compute hardware generation.
They are not necessary supported by every host OS or distro, thus they are fixed to an image
and are applied to all instances created with it as their boot disk image.
These features significantly determine how the instance is created, thus cannot be changed after the fact.
|
Field |
Description |
|
legacy_features |
Includes only one of the fields |
|
generation2_features |
Includes only one of the fields |
LegacyHardwareFeatures
A first hardware generation, by default compatible with all legacy images.
Allows switching to PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and back.
|
Field |
Description |
|
pci_topology |
enum PCITopology
|
Generation2HardwareFeatures
A second hardware generation, which by default assumes PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2
and UEFI boot (with UEFI related features).
