Supported machine types and storage

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

N2

n2-standard-8, n2-standard-16

  • WEKA supports deploying the C2 machine type with 2, 4, or 8 local SSD drives and the N2 machine type with 2, 4, 8 or 16 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 GCP region.

Supported machine types for clients

Explore the two key technologies in network virtualization: VirtIO in DPDK mode and gVNIC in UDP and DPDK modes.

Supported machine types for clients over VirtIO in DPDK mode

VirtIO in DPDK mode enables high-performance network interfaces within virtual machines, making it an ideal choice for applications requiring low-latency, high-throughput networking in virtualized environments.

Supported machine types for clients over gVNIC in DPDK and UDP modes

  • gVNIC in DPDK Mode: Delivers high-performance network interfaces in virtual machines, similar to VirtIO, with optimized performance for demanding network workloads.

  • gVNIC in UDP Mode: Provides reliable, high-speed network connectivity, leveraging the UDP protocol to balance performance and dependability.
