Nesta página, descrevemos quais propriedades de máquina virtual (VM) podem ser atualizadas em uma
VM atual e como fazer essa atualização.
Antes de começar
Para usar os comandos da interface de linha de comando (CLI) gdcloud, verifique se você baixou, instalou
e configurou a CLI gdcloud.
Todos os comandos do Distributed Cloud usam a CLI gdcloud ou kubectl e exigem um ambiente de sistema operacional (SO).
Extrair o caminho do arquivo kubeconfig
Para executar comandos no servidor da API Management, verifique se você tem os seguintes
recursos:
Faça login e gere o arquivo
kubeconfig para o servidor da API Management se você não tiver um.
Use o caminho para o arquivo kubeconfig do servidor da API Management para substituir
MANAGEMENT_API_SERVER nestas instruções.
Solicitar permissões e acesso
Para executar as tarefas listadas nesta página, você precisa ter o papel de administrador de máquina virtual do projeto. Siga as etapas para
verificar
se você tem o papel de administrador de máquina virtual do projeto (project-vm-admin) no namespace
do projeto em que a VM reside.
Para operações de VM usando o console do GDC ou a CLI gdcloud,
peça ao administrador do IAM do projeto para atribuir a você os papéis de
administrador de máquina virtual do projeto e leitor do projeto (project-viewer).
Propriedades atualizáveis
Só é possível mudar as propriedades que estão no spec da VM.
Ver propriedades atualizáveis
Encontre as propriedades que você quer mudar usando o console do GDC ou
kubectl.
Console
No menu de navegação, clique em Virtual Machines > Instâncias.
Na lista de VMs, clique no nome de uma delas para conferir as propriedades.
As propriedades editáveis têm um ícone editEditar.
kubectl
Confira a lista de propriedades da VM spec e os valores válidos correspondentes a cada propriedade:
KIND: VirtualMachine
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.

KIND: VirtualMachine
VERSION: virtualmachine.gdc.goog/v1
RESOURCE: compute <Object>
DESCRIPTION:
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.
FIELDS:
memory <>
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.

Todas as propriedades podem ser atualizadas em uma VM em execução, mas geralmente exigem que a VM seja reiniciada para entrar em vigor.
Essas atualizações de propriedade exigem que a VM seja reiniciada para que as mudanças entrem em vigor:
