[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
nodeType

string

The node type to use for nodes group that are created from this template.
nodeAffinityLabels

map (key: string, value: string)

Labels to use for node affinity, which will be used in instance scheduling.

An object containing a list of "key": value pairs. Example: { "name": "wrench", "mass": "1.3kg", "count": "3" }.
status

enum

[Output Only] The status of the node template. One of the following values: CREATING, READY, and DELETING.
statusMessage

string

[Output Only] An optional, human-readable explanation of the status.
region

string

[Output Only] The name of the region where the node template resides, such as us-central1.
nodeTypeFlexibility

object

The flexible properties of the desired node type. Node groups that use this node template will create nodes of a type that matches these properties.

This field is mutually exclusive with the nodeType property; you can only define one or the other, but not both.
nodeTypeFlexibility.cpus

string
nodeTypeFlexibility.memory

string
nodeTypeFlexibility.localSsd

string
serverBinding

object

Sets the binding properties for the physical server. Valid values include:

  • [Default] RESTART_NODE_ON_ANY_SERVER: Restarts VMs on any available physical server
  • RESTART_NODE_ON_MINIMAL_SERVER: Restarts VMs on the same physical server whenever possible

See Sole-tenant node options for more information.
serverBinding.type

enum
cpuOvercommitType

enum

CPU overcommit.
kind

string

[Output Only] The type of the resource. Always compute#nodeTemplate for node templates.
