public sealed class AllocationPolicy.Types.InstancePolicy : IMessage<AllocationPolicy.Types.InstancePolicy>, IEquatable<AllocationPolicy.Types.InstancePolicy>, IDeepCloneable<AllocationPolicy.Types.InstancePolicy>, IBufferMessage, IMessage
Reference documentation and code samples for the Batch v1alpha API class AllocationPolicy.Types.InstancePolicy.
InstancePolicy describes an instance type and resources attached to each VM
created by this InstancePolicy.
public AllocationPolicy.Types.Disk BootDisk { get; set; }
Boot disk to be created and attached to each VM by this InstancePolicy.
Boot disk will be deleted when the VM is deleted.
Batch API now only supports booting from image.
public RepeatedField<AllocationPolicy.Types.AttachedDisk> Disks { get; }
Non-boot disks to be attached for each VM created by this InstancePolicy.
New disks will be deleted when the VM is deleted.
A non-boot disk is a disk that can be of a device with a
file system or a raw storage drive that is not ready for data
storage and accessing.
