This feature allows you to select a
minimum CPU platform
for your Cloud Dataproc clusters. For example, when you create a cluster,
you can select Intel Skylake CPUs for the cluster's master
and/or worker instances to improve job performance.
Before using this feature, see Available regions & zones, which lists
the platforms available in each zone. You can also run the
gcloud compute zones describe zone command to list
the availableCpuPlatforms in your cluster's zone (see
Specifying a Minimum CPU Platform for VM Instances for
more information).
Using Minimum CPU Platform
gcloud command
To specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master and/or worker (including
preemptible) nodes, pass one or both of the following flags to the
gcloud dataproc clusters create
command:
To specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master, primary worker,
and/or secondary (preemptible) worker nodes, set the minCpuPlatform field in
InstanceGroupConfig
for your master, primary worker, and/or secondary (preemptible) instances in your
cluster.create
request.
Console
You can specify a minimum CPU platform for your cluster's master and worker
nodes using the CPU PLATFORM AND GPU→CPU platform sections of the
Configure nodes panel on the Create a cluster
page in the Google Cloud console.
