CPU usage

In order to use XPK for CPU, you can do so by using device-type flag.

• Cluster Create (provision on-demand capacity):

  # Run cluster create with on demand capacity.
  xpk cluster create \
  --cluster xpk-test \
  --device-type=n2-standard-32-256 \
  --num-slices=1 \
  --default-pool-cpu-machine-type=n2-standard-32 \
  --on-demand

  Note that device-type for CPUs is of the format -, thus in the above example, user requests for 256 VMs of type n2-standard-32. Currently workloads using < 1000 VMs are supported.

• Run a workload:

  # Submit a workload
  xpk workload create \
  --cluster xpk-test \
  --num-slices=1 \
  --device-type=n2-standard-32-256 \
  --workload xpk-test-workload \
  --command="echo hello world"
