DEPRECATED: Prefer PRODUCTION for all use cases, as it no longer enforces
a higher minimum node count than DEVELOPMENT.
Production
An instance meant for production use. serve_nodes must be set
on the cluster.
Unspecified
The type of the instance is unspecified. If set when creating an
instance, a PRODUCTION instance will be created. If set when updating
an instance, the type will be left unchanged.
