The CloudShare metrics that are available for managing the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) resource quota reflect information that is made available from GCP.
For additional information, refer to the GCP documentation. You may find the following references helpful: GCP Resource Pricing Calculator, GCP VM Instance Life Cycle, GCP Metrics API Documentation.
The text below provides basic details for each available GCP metric that is controllable through CloudShare.
- CPU usage time - The maximum time (in seconds) that each CPU will be in operation.
- CPUs - The highest allowable number of central processing units (CPUs) operating at any time. From the Sub-Metric dropdown list, you can further indicate Shared CPU or Standard CPU. For general information, see CPU Platforms for GCP VMs.
- Disk GB - The highest number of gigabytes (GB) allowed for disk-based storage at any time. From the Sub-Metric drop-down list, you can further indicate SSD Disk or Standard Disk. For general information, see GCP Storage Options.
- Forwarding rules - The highest number of GCP forwarding rules that will be available at any time. A forwarding rule refers to an IP address and port(s) on which load balancing traffic will be accepted. Limiting the number of rules limits availability of the load balancer. For general information, see Forwarding Rules for Load Balancing.
- GPUs - The highest allowable number of graphics processing units (GPUs) at any time. For general information, see GPUs on GCP VMs.
- Instance uptime in seconds - The maximum time (in seconds) that a VM instance will be in operation.
- Memory MB - The highest number of megabytes (MB) allowed for RAM-based storage at any time.
- Received network bytes - The highest allowable number of bytes that can be received over the network by the virtual machine.
- Sent network bytes - The highest allowable number of bytes that can be sent over the network by the virtual machine.
