This feature allows you to select Persistent Disk Solid State Drives (PD-SSDs) as boot disks for your cluster's master and/or primary and/or secondary (preemptible) worker node(s).
Using PD-SSD
gcloud command
You can create a cluster and select PD-SSD as the boot disk for the
cluster's master and/or primary and/or secondary worker node(s) using the
gcloud dataproc clusters create
command with the --master-boot-disk-type, and/or
--worker-boot-disk-type, and/or
and/or --secondary-worker-boot-disk-type flag(s).
The default value for each flag is "pd-standard", which selects PD-Standard
(Hard Disk Drive) as the boot disk. To select PD-SSD as the boot disk, pass a value
of "pd-ssd" to the --master-boot-disk-type, and/or --worker-boot-disk-type,
and/or --secondary-worker-boot-disk-type flag(s). These flags can be used
independently or in combination to select PD-SSD as the boot disk for master
and/or primary and/or secondary worker node(s).

REST API
You can create a cluster and select PD-SSD as the boot disk for the
cluster's master and/or primary and/or secondary (preemptible) worker node(s) by setting the
bootDiskType
field to "pd-ssd" in the masterConfig, and/or workerConfig,
and/or secondaryWorkerConfig
InstanceGroupConfig
object(s) in your
cluster.create
API request. If not specified, the default bootDiskType is "pd-standard",
which selects PD-Standard (Hard Disk Drive) as the boot disk. Each config can be set
independently to select pd-ssd as the boot disk type for master and/or primary
and/or secondary (preemptible) worker node(s).
Console
You can create a cluster and select PD-SSD as the boot disk (and select per-node boot disk size) for master and/or primary worker node(s) from the Dataproc Create a cluster page of the Google Cloud Console.
