Consume reservations

This document explains how to do the following:

For more information about reservations, see the following:

Before you begin

Consume reserved instances

When you create a virtual machine (VM) instance, the instance starts consuming a reservation only if the properties for both the VM and the reservation are matching. Additionally, you must set the reservation affinity property of the VM to one of the following options:

  • Consume any matching reservation—the VM can automatically consume any reservation with matching properties (default).

    This option is useful if you create and delete lots of VMs, and you want to use your reservations whenever possible. In this scenario, a VM can be created whether its properties match a reservation or not. If they match, the VM starts consuming the reservation depending on the reservation's consumption order.

  • Consume a specific reservation—the VM can consume only a specific reservation. The reservation can't be automatically consumed.

    This option is useful when, for example, you want to hold a certain amount of capacity as backup for special events. In this scenario, a VM can be created only if its properties and the specific reservation's properties are matching.

  • Can't consume any reservation at all—the VM can't consume any reservation.

    This option is useful when, for example, you create a temporary VM that you don't want to consume reserved resources.

Consume instances from any matching reservation

In this consumption model, existing and new VMs automatically consume a reservation if their properties match the VM properties specified in the reservation.

When using this consumption model, the VMs in the current project consume all single-project reservations first before consuming any shared reservations. For more information about how reservations are automatically consumed, see consumption order.

When you create a reservation, this is the default consumption model, as long as you don't use the flag or option that indicates specific reservations are required.

Console

  1. To create a reservation with resources that can be used by VM instances with a reservation affinity property configured to consume any reservations (default), follow these steps:

    1. Select the type of reservation that you want to create:

      • To create standalone reservation, do the following:

        1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Reservations page.

          Go to Reservations

          The Reservations page appears.

        2. Click Create reservation.

          The Create a reservation page appears.

      • To create a reservation that is attached to a commitment, do the following:

        1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Committed use discounts page.

          Go to Committed use discounts

          The Commitment list page appears.

        2. Click Purchase commitment.

          The Purchase a committed use discount page appears.

        3. Specify the commitment properties. Then, in the Reservations section, click Add an item.

          The Add a new reservation section appears.

          For more information about how to purchase a commitment with an attached reservation, see Purchase commitments with attached reservations.

    2. In the Name field, enter a name for your reservation. For this example, enter reservation-01.

    3. Choose the Region and Zone where you want to reserve resources. For this example, select us-central1 as the region and us-central1-a as the zone.

    4. Choose your preferred Share type:

      • To create a reservation for a single project, select Local.
      • To create a shared reservation among multiple projects, select Shared. To share this reservation with other projects, click Add projects and select the desired projects from the current project's organization.

    5. In the Use with VM instance section, select Use reservation automatically, so that any matching VM instances can automatically use this reservation.

    6. In the Number of VM instances field, enter the number of VM instances that you want to reserve. For this example, enter 2.

    7. Specify the resources that you want to reserve for each VM instance:

      • If you want to reserve VMs that match an existing instance template, select Use instance template and select an instance template from the list.
      • Otherwise, select Specify machine type and specify the following:
        1. In the Machine family, Series, and Machine type fields, select a machine family, series, and machine type.
        2. Optional: Specify a minimum CPU platform and/or GPUs:
          1. To expand the CPU Platform and GPU section, click the expander arrow.
          2. Optional: To specify a minimum CPU platform, in the CPU Platform list, select an option.

      • If you are creating a reservation that is attached to a commitment:

        1. To finish specifying the properties for this reservation, click Done.
        2. To finish creating the commitment and attached reservations, click Purchase.

  2. In the same project or a project that the reservation is shared with, create a VM instance that targets any open reservation.

    Ensure that the VM instance's properties match the VM instance properties in reservation-01, including the zone, machine type (machine family, vCPUs, and memory), minimum CPU platform, GPU amount and type, and local SSD interface and size.

    For more information about how to create a VM instance, see Creating and starting a VM instance

    1. In the Google Cloud console, go to the Create an instance page.

      Go to Create an instance

      The Create an instance page appears.

    2. Specify a name for your VM.

    3. In the following sections, select a configuration that exactly matches all the properties of your reservation, including any optional properties. For this example, you must match the following VM instance properties with reservation-01:

      • Region: us-central1
      • Zone: us-central1-a
      • Machine type: n2-standard-32
      • Minimum CPU platform: Intel Cascade Lake
      • GPUs: none
      • Local SSDs: none

    4. Expand the Advanced options section and then expand the Management section. In the Reservations list, select Automatically use created reservation.

    5. To create the VM, click Create.

gcloud

  1. Create an open reservation called reservation-01.

    gcloud compute reservations create reservation-01 \
    --vm-count=2 \
    --machine-type=n2-standard-32 \
    --min-cpu-platform "Intel Cascade Lake" \
    --zone=us-central1-a

  2. Create a VM instance that targets any open reservation and that matches the instance properties in reservation-01, including the zone, machine type (machine family. vCPUs, and memory), minimum CPU platform, GPU amount and type, and local SSD amount and interface.

    gcloud compute instances create instance-1 \
    --machine-type=n2-standard-32 \
    --min-cpu-platform="Intel Cascade Lake" \
    --zone=us-central1-a \
    --reservation-affinity=any

API

  1. Create an open reservation named reservation-01.

    POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-a/reservations

{
  "name":"reservation-01",
  "specificReservation":{
    "count":"2",
    "instanceProperties":{
      "machineType":"n2-standard-32",
      "minCpuPlatform": "Intel Cascade Lake",
    }
  },
  "specificReservationRequired": false
}

  2. Create a VM instance that targets any open reservation and that matches the instance properties in reservation-01, including the zone, machine type (machine family. vCPUs, and memory), minimum CPU platform, GPU amount and type, and local SSD amount and interface.

    POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/my-project/zones/us-central1-a/instances

{
  "name": "instance-1",
  "machineType": "zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/n2-standard-32",
  "minCpuPlatform": "Intel Cascade Lake",
  "reservationAffinity":
  {
    "consumeReservationType": "ANY_RESERVATION"
  },
  ...
}

Consume instances from a specific reservation

In this consumption model, only new VMs that target a specific reservation by name can consume that reservation, and the reservation is not consumed automatically.

When creating the reservation, specify that VMs are required to target the specific reservation by using one of the following methods:

  • In the Google Cloud console, select the Select specific reservation checkbox.
  • In the gcloud CLI, include the --require-specific-reservation flag.
  • In the Compute Engine API, set the specificReservationRequired field to true.
  • In Terraform, set the specific_reservation_required field to true.

Then create VMs that specifically target that reservation. You can only create a VM that targets a specific reservation if the VM properties and the reservation's properties are matching. Otherwise, creating the VM fails.

If you are using an instance template to create VMs in a regional managed instance group, create identical reservations with the same name in each applicable zone. Then, target the reservations by name in the group's instance template.

For example, create a specific reservation named reservation-02, and then create a matching VM that targets that reservation and that matches the reservation's VM properties.

Depending on the type of instance you want to consume, follow the steps for Consume a specific single-project reservation or Consume a specific shared reservation.

Consume a specific single-project reservation

To consume a specific single-project reservation, use the Google Cloud console, gcloud CLI, or Compute Engine API.

Test that VM properties match a reservation

To test whether VMs can automatically consume a reservation, you can create a copy of the reservation as a specific reservation, and then see if a VM you plan to create can consume that reservation. If you can successfully create the VM, you've verified that the VM can correctly consume the matching reservation. Otherwise, creating the VM fails because the properties don't match or there are no available reserved resources. After testing, you can do one or more of the following:

Verify reservations consumption

To verify that a VM is correctly consuming a reservation, use one of the following methods:

  • View the details of the reservation before and after you create or update a VM.

    If the number of used VMs by a reservation increases by 1 after your change, then your change probably caused that VM to start consuming the reservation. This is the simplest method to verify a reservation consumption, but it might not work well to verify which exact VM is consuming a reservation.

  • Create the VM to target a specific reservation.

    If you can successfully create a VM that targets a specific reservation, then the VM is consuming the reservation. This is the most reliable method to verify that a specific VM is consuming a reservation and that the VM properties match a reservation.

  • Monitor your reservations consumption.

    By using Cloud Monitoring, you can access and view the information associated with the consumption of the reservations that were created in the current project. If you see a change in the measurements of a reservation, then it means that a VM consumed the reservation. This method is useful to verify the consumption trend of one or more reservations, as well as receive notifications for underused or unused reservations.

If you see that a VM isn't consuming a reservation after you've verified that the VM's reservation affinity can consume the reservation, the reservation isn't fully consumed, and the VM and the reservation's properties are matching, see the troubleshooting documentation for Resource availability.

The usage report shows the following:

  • The reserved resources that are in use. These entries appear as normal vCPU, memory, GPU, and local SSD resources.
  • The reserved resources that are not in use. These entries have normal SKU names and reservation resource URIs.
  • Total reserved resources. These entries have reservation SKU names and reservation resource URIs. There are no costs associated with these entries. Use these entries to calculate how much of your reservations you are using.

For example, in the following snippet from a usage report for a reservation named my-reservation:

  • Row 1 shows reserved RAM that is currently in use. The row's ResourceId shows that this RAM is used by an instance named my-instance.
  • Row 2 shows reserved RAM that is not in use. The row's ResourceId shows that this reserved RAM is held by my-reservation; it is not yet used by any instance.
  • Row 3 shows the reservation's total reserved RAM.
