Returns the specified node type.

HTTP request

GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/nodeTypes/{nodeType}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
zone

string

The name of the zone for this request.
nodeType

string

Name of the node type to return.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

Represent a sole-tenant Node Type resource.

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 is n1-node-96-624 node type that has 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory, available in multiple zones. For more information read Node types.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] The type of the resource. Always compute#nodeType for node 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.
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 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 node type resides, such as us-central1-a.
