Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Dataproc v1 API enum GkeNodePoolTarget.Types.Role.
Role specifies whose tasks will run on the NodePool. The roles can be
specific to workloads. Exactly one GkeNodePoolTarget within the
VirtualCluster must have 'default' role, which is used to run all workloads
that are not associated with a NodePool.
