Supported machine types for backends

The following table provides the supported machine types (VM instance) for backends (and clients) applied by the Terraform package:

Machine series
Machine types

C2

c2-standard-8, c2-standard-16

  • Each machine type supports 1, 2, 4, or 8 local SSD drives. Each drive has 375 GB (maximum 3 TB per instance). These drives are not individual SSDs but partitions locally to the physical server.

  • The data in a WEKA cluster is protected with N+2 or N+4. However, use snap-to-object if the data needs further protection from multiple server failures.

  • The C2 series may not be available in your chosen .

Supported machine types for clients

Explore the two key technologies in network virtualization: VirtIO in DPDK mode and gVNIC in UDP mode. VirtIO in DPDK mode offers high-performance network interfaces in virtual machines, while gVNIC in UDP mode provides reliable, high-speed network connectivity.
