Description
local_ssd_count
int
Number of local SSDs to use to back ephemeral storage. Uses
NVMe interfaces.
A zero (or unset) value has different meanings depending on
machine type being used:
1. For pre-Gen3 machines, which support flexible numbers of
local ssds, zero (or unset) means to disable using local
SSDs as ephemeral storage. The limit for this value is
dependent upon the maximum number of disk available on a
machine per zone. See:
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd for
more information.
2. For Gen3 machines which dictate a specific number of
local ssds, zero (or unset) means to use the default
number of local ssds that goes with that machine type.
For example, for a c3-standard-8-lssd machine, 2 local
ssds would be provisioned. For c3-standard-8 (which
doesn't support local ssds), 0 will be provisioned. See
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/local-ssd#choose_number_local_ssds
for more info.
data_cache_count
int
Number of local SSDs to use for GKE Data
Cache.
