Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud Workstations v1 API class WorkstationConfig.Types.Host.Types.GceInstance.Types.BoostConfig.

A boost configuration is a set of resources that a workstation can use to increase its performance. If you specify a boost configuration, upon startup, workstation users can choose to use a VM provisioned under the boost config by passing the boost config ID in the start request. If the workstation user does not provide a boost config ID in the start request, the system will choose a VM from the pool provisioned under the default config.

Properties

Accelerators

public RepeatedField<WorkstationConfig.Types.Host.Types.GceInstance.Types.Accelerator> Accelerators { get; }

Optional. A list of the type and count of accelerator cards attached to the boost instance. Defaults to none.

BootDiskSizeGb

public int BootDiskSizeGb { get; set; }

Optional. The size of the boot disk for the VM in gigabytes (GB). The minimum boot disk size is 30 GB. Defaults to 50 GB.

Property Value
Type Description
int

EnableNestedVirtualization

public bool EnableNestedVirtualization { get; set; }

Optional. Whether to enable nested virtualization on boosted Cloud Workstations VMs running using this boost configuration.

Defaults to false.

Nested virtualization lets you run virtual machine (VM) instances inside your workstation. Before enabling nested virtualization, consider the following important considerations. Cloud Workstations instances are subject to the same restrictions as Compute Engine instances:

  • Organization policy: projects, folders, or organizations may be restricted from creating nested VMs if the Disable VM nested virtualization constraint is enforced in the organization policy. For more information, see the Compute Engine section, Checking whether nested virtualization is allowed.
  • Performance: nested VMs might experience a 10% or greater decrease in performance for workloads that are CPU-bound and possibly greater than a 10% decrease for workloads that are input/output bound.
  • Machine Type: nested virtualization can only be enabled on boost configurations that specify a [machine_type][google.cloud.workstations.v1.WorkstationConfig.Host.GceInstance.BoostConfig.machine_type] in the N1 or N2 machine series.
Property Value
Type Description
bool

Id

public string Id { get; set; }

Required. The ID to be used for the boost configuration.

Property Value
Type Description
string

MachineType

public string MachineType { get; set; }

Optional. The type of machine that boosted VM instances will use—for example, e2-standard-4. For more information about machine types that Cloud Workstations supports, see the list of available machine types. Defaults to e2-standard-4.

Property Value
Type Description
string

PoolSize

public int PoolSize { get; set; }

Optional. The number of boost VMs that the system should keep idle so that workstations can be boosted quickly. Defaults to 0.
