VERSION: virtualmachine.gdc.goog/v1
RESOURCE: spec <Object>
DESCRIPTION:
Defines the specification of the Virtual Machine.
FIELDS:
compute <Object>
Specifies the CPU and Memory of the VM. CPU and Memory can be defined
directly or through the VirtualMachineType. Changes to Compute require a
reboot to take effect. Compute is immutable when the VM is in `Unknown`
state.
disks <[]Object> -required-
Specifies the list of disks attached to this vm. There must be exactly one
boot disk. Changes to disk attachments require a reboot to take effect.

Specifies the amount of physical memory available to the instance. memory
must have a minimum value of `1G`, and can be up to (including) `400G`.
vcpus <integer>
Specifies the number of VCPUs that are available to the instance. Specify
`vcpus` as an integer. This value must be a multiple of 2, with 2 as the
minimum and 128 as the maximum allowed.
