## Resource: NodeType

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](https://docs.cloud.google.com/compute/docs/nodes#types).

| Fields ||
|---|---|
| `kind` | `string` Output only. The type of the resource. Always `compute#nodeType` for node types. |
| `id` | `string (https://developers.google.com/discovery/v1/type-format format)` Output only. The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server. |
| `creationTimestamp` | `string` Output only. Creation timestamp in [RFC3339](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) 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](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) 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](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) 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](https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt) 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. |
| `selfLink` | `string` Output only. Server-defined URL for the resource. |
| `maxVms` | `integer` Output only. Maximum number of VMs that can be created for this node type. |
