cpu
required

Cpu

CPU configuration for a virtual machine.

object
v_cpus_boot

Number of vCPUs present at boot time.

This is the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) that will be present in the virtual machine when it boots.

integer format: uint32
v_cpus_max

Maximum number of vCPUs.

This option defines the maximum number of vCPUs that can be assigned to the VM. In particular, this option is used when looking for CPU hotplug as it lets the provide an indication about how many vCPUs might be needed later during the runtime of the VM.

For instance, if booting the VM with 2 vCPUs and a maximum of 6 vCPUs, it means up to 4 vCPUs can be added later at runtime by resizing the VM.

The value must be greater than or equal to the number of boot vCPUs

integer format: uint32
topology

Topology

CPU topology refers to the physical organization of central processing units (CPUs) within a system, including the number of sockets, cores, and threads. This information is essential for optimizing virtualization, workload distribution, and performance tuning.

object
threads_per_core

Number of threads per core.

A CPU core can support multiple threads of execution, depending on its capabilities. This attribute refers to how many threads each core can handle simultaneously, commonly known as “simultaneous multithreading” (SMT). For example, a core with threadsPerCore set to 2 would be able to handle two threads at once, essentially doubling the performance of the core in certain multi-threaded workloads.

integer format: uint32
cores_per_die

Number of cores per die.

A CPU die is a single piece of silicon that contains the CPU’s processing units (cores). The coresPerDie represents how many cores are physically present on a single die within the CPU.

Typically, a CPU die will have several cores, and each core might handle multiple threads (depending on the threadsPerCore value).

integer format: uint32
dies_per_socket

Number of dies per socket.

A CPU socket is the physical interface that connects a processor to the motherboard, typically containing one or more CPU dies. The diesPerSocket attribute represents how many CPU dies are available in each socket. Some high-end server CPUs may have multiple dies in a single socket, each with its own set of cores. The Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) may refer to this as “diesPerPackage,” as a “package” is often used to refer to a single CPU or socket that includes multiple dies.

integer format: uint32
sockets

Number of CPU sockets.

integer format: uint32
affinity

Affinity

List of Processor affinity, or CPU pinning or “cache affinity”, enables the binding and unbinding of a process or a thread to a central processing unit (CPU) or a range of CPUs, so that the process or thread will execute only on the designated CPU or CPUs rather than any CPU. It is useful for achieving CPU pinning, ensuring multiple VMs won’t affect the performance of each other. It might also be used in the context of NUMA as it is way of making sure the VM can run on a specific host NUMA node. In general, this option is used to increase the performances of a VM depending on the host platform and the type of workload running in the guest

resource_pool_id

Resource Pool Id

The ResourcePool this VM is placed into, either named explicitly by the caller or auto-resolved from the VM’s domain spec. Always populated after create.

string
cloud_init_extension

Cloud-init Extension

Optional caller-supplied cloud-init YAML, merged on top of the platform baseline at VM creation time. Transient — not persisted on the aggregate; size-bounded; YAML-validated server-side before CRD submission. Responses MUST NOT echo this back because secrets may be present.

stringInput only
eviction_strategy

Eviction Strategy

User intent when the VM’s host enters maintenance. Maps to the virtualization host’s eviction strategy. Mutating via Update changes future eviction behaviour only — it never triggers a live migration of a running VM. Unspecified on Create is read by the server as LIVE_MIGRATE_IF_POSSIBLE.

string format: enum
Allowed values: EVICTION_STRATEGY_UNSPECIFIED LIVE_MIGRATE_IF_POSSIBLE LIVE_MIGRATE EXTERNAL NONE

Section titled “default ”

Default error response

Media type application/json

The Status type defines a logical error model that is suitable for different programming environments, including REST APIs and RPC APIs. It is used by gRPC. Each Status message contains three pieces of data: error code, error message, and error details. You can find out more about this error model and how to work with it in the API Design Guide.

object
code

The status code, which should be an enum value of [google.rpc.Code][google.rpc.Code].

integer format: int32
message

A developer-facing error message, which should be in English. Any user-facing error message should be localized and sent in the [google.rpc.Status.details][google.rpc.Status.details] field, or localized by the client.

string
details

A list of messages that carry the error details. There is a common set of message types for APIs to use.

Array<object>

Contains an arbitrary serialized message along with a @type that describes the type of the serialized message.

object
@type

The type of the serialized message.
