Returns the specified machine type.
HTTP request
GET https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/zones/{zone}/machineTypes/{machineType}
The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.
Path parameters
Parameters | |
---|---|
project |
Project ID for this request. |
zone |
The name of the zone for this request. |
machineType |
Name of the machine type to return. |
Request body
The request body must be empty.
Response body
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.
If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

Fields | |
---|---|
kind |
[Output Only] The type of the resource. Always |
id |
[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server. |
creationTimestamp |
[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format. |
name |
[Output Only] Name of the resource. |
description |
[Output Only] An optional textual description of the resource. |
guestCpus |
[Output Only] The number of virtual CPUs that are available to the instance. |
memoryMb |
[Output Only] The amount of physical memory available to the instance, defined in MB. |
imageSpaceGb |
[Deprecated] This property is deprecated and will never be populated with any relevant values. |
scratchDisks[] |
[Output Only] A list of extended scratch disks assigned to the instance. |
scratchDisks[].diskGb |

maximumPersistentDisks |
[Output Only] Maximum persistent disks allowed. |
maximumPersistentDisksSizeGb |
[Output Only] Maximum total persistent disks size (GB) allowed. |
deprecated |
[Output Only] The deprecation status associated with this machine type. Only applicable if the machine type is unavailable. |
deprecated.state |
The deprecation state of this resource. This can be |
deprecated.replacement |
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 |
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to |
deprecated.obsolete |
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to |
deprecated.deleted |
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to |
zone |
[Output Only] The name of the zone where the machine type resides, such as us-central1-a. |
selfLink |
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource. |
isSharedCpu |
[Output Only] Whether this machine type has a shared CPU. See Shared-core machine types for more information. |
accelerators[] |
[Output Only] A list of accelerator configurations assigned to this machine type. |
accelerators[].guestAcceleratorType |
The accelerator type resource name, not a full URL, e.g. |
accelerators[].guestAcceleratorCount |
Number of accelerator cards exposed to the guest. |
architecture |
[Output Only] The architecture of the machine type. |
Authorization scopes
Requires one of the following OAuth scopes:
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute.readonly
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute
https://www.googleapis.com/auth/cloud-platform
For more information, see the Authentication Overview.
IAM Permissions
In addition to any permissions specified on the fields above, authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions:
compute.machineTypes.get
To find predefined roles that contain those permissions, see Compute Engine IAM Roles.
