Represents 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.

allowed.
This field is a member of oneof_ _maximum_persistent_disks_size_gb.
memory_mb
int
[Output Only] The amount of physical memory available to the
instance, defined in MB.
This field is a member of oneof_ _memory_mb.
name
str
[Output Only] Name of the resource.
This field is a member of oneof_ _name.
self_link
str
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
This field is a member of oneof_ _self_link.
zone
str
[Output Only] The name of the zone where the machine type
resides, such as us-central1-a.
This field is a member of oneof_ _zone.
Classes
Architecture
Architecture(value)
[Output Only] The architecture of the machine type.
