Compute Engine Instance Template

Docs > DDSQL Reference > Data Directory > Compute Engine Instance Template

A Compute Engine Instance Template in Google Cloud is a reusable configuration that defines settings for virtual machine instances, such as machine type, disk image, network, and metadata. It allows you to create multiple instances with consistent configurations, simplifying scaling and deployment.
