VMware Engine node types
A Google Cloud VMware Engine private cloud is a collection of vSphere clusters created with a set of dedicated isolated bare metal hardware nodes in a region. These nodes provide the compute, memory, and storage required to run VMware ESXi, and are the basic unit of consumption of VMware Engine. This document details the node types, their resource capacity and availability in the regions.
A vSphere cluster must have nodes with identical storage. Google Cloud VMware Engine
allows creation of a cluster with a mix of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI)
and storage only node types. You can create a cluster with ve2-standard-128
and ve2-standard-so
node types, but not mix two different HCI node types.
Node types
The following sections list node types that are available when creating a VMware Engine private clouds or clusters.
Hyperconverged node types
The following table lists HCI node types that are available when creating a VMware Engine private cloud or a cluster.
Node type | vCPUs/Node | Memory/Node (GiB) | Storage/Node (TB)* |
---|---|---|---|
ve1-standard-72 | 72 | 768 | 19.2 |
ve2-standard-96† | 96 | 2048 | 25.5 |
