Resource: NodeType

Represent a sole-tenant Node Type resource.

Each node within a node group must have a node type. A node type specifies the total amount of cores and memory for that node. Currently, the only available node type is

n1-node-96-624

node type that has 96 vCPUs and 624 GB of memory, available in multiple zones. For more information read Node types.
