Create a Hyper-Q Virtual Machine and Instance Group
Create a virtual machine for Hyper-Q following the procedures for provisioning virtual machines in Google Cloud. The virtual machine you create must be an instance template. Name the instance template such that it is easily identifiable as being used for Hyper-Q. For example: dtm-hyper-q
The Hyper-Q virtual machine must meet the following system requirements.
Resource | Non-Production | Production |
|---|---|---|
Series | N1 | N1 |
VM type | n1-standard-32 (32 vCPU with 120 GB memory) | n1-standard-32 (32 vCPU with 120 GB memory) |
Disk | Standard SSD with 500GB | Premium SSD, with 1TB |
OS | RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.x–8.x or CentOS Linux 6.x–8.x | |
To learn more, see Creating and starting a VM instance in the Google Cloud documentation.
Create a Virtual Machine Instance Group
An instance group is a collection of virtual machine instances that you can manage as a single entity. To learn how to create an instance group, see Creating groups of unmanaged instances in the Google Cloud documentation.
Specify the following values for the Hyper-Q instance group.
