MachineType

A MachineType object allows you to interact with a Google Compute Engine machine type.

Constructor

new MachineType(zone, name)

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`zone`	Zone
`name`	string

See:

Example

const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-b');
const machineType = zone.machineType('g1-small');

Members

id

name

zone

The parent Zone instance of this MachineType instance.

Methods

create(callback)

Check if the machine type exists.

Parameters:

Name Type Description

callback

function

The callback function.

Properties

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`err`	error	<nullable>	An error returned while making this request.
`exists`	boolean		Whether the machine type exists or not.

Example

const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-b');
const machineType = zone.machineType('g1-small');

machineType.exists(function(err, exists) {});

//-
// If the callback is omitted, we'll return a Promise.
//-
machineType.exists().then(function(data) {
  const exists = data[0];
});

get()

Get a machine type if it exists.

Example

const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-b');
const machineType = zone.machineType('g1-small');

machineType.get(function(err, machineType, apiResponse) {
  // `machineType` is a MachineType object.
});

//-
// If the callback is omitted, we'll return a Promise.
//-
machineType.get().then(function(data) {
  const machineType = data[0];
  const apiResponse = data[1];
});

getMetadata(callbackopt)

Get the machine type's metadata.

Parameters:

Name Type Attributes Description

callback

function

The callback function.

Properties

Name	Type	Attributes	Description
`err`	error	<nullable>	An error returned while making this request.
`metadata`	object		The machine type's metadata.
`apiResponse`	object		The full API response.

See:

Example

const Compute = require('@google-cloud/compute');
const compute = new Compute();
const zone = compute.zone('us-central1-b');
const machineType = zone.machineType('g1-small');

machineType.getMetadata(function(err, metadata, apiResponse) {});

//-
// If the callback is omitted, we'll return a Promise.
//-
machineType.getMetadata().then(function(data) {
  const metadata = data[0];
  const apiResponse = data[1];
});
