The accelerator type string (for example, "nvidia-tesla-k80").
Only NVIDIA GPU accelerators are currently supported. If an NVIDIA GPU is
attached, the required runtime libraries will be made available to all
containers under /usr/local/nvidia. The driver version to install must
be specified using the NVIDIA driver version parameter on the virtual
machine specification. Note that attaching a GPU increases the worker VM
startup time by a few minutes.
