publicenumLocationPolicy.Types.TargetShape
Reference documentation and code samples for the Compute Engine v1 API enum LocationPolicy.Types.TargetShape.
Strategy for distributing VMs across zones in a region.
GCE picks zones for creating VM instances to fulfill the requested
number of VMs within present resource constraints and to maximize
utilization of unused zonal reservations. Recommended for batch workloads
that do not require high availability.
AnySingleZone
GCE always selects a single zone for all the VMs, optimizing for resource
quotas, available reservations and general capacity. Recommended for
batch workloads that cannot tollerate distribution over multiple zones.
This the default shape in Bulk Insert and Capacity Advisor APIs.
Balanced
GCE prioritizes acquisition of resources, scheduling VMs in zones
where resources are available while distributing VMs as evenly as
possible across allowed zones to minimize the impact of zonal failure.
Recommended for highly available serving workloads.
