It defines node configuration such as machine type, scaling, networking, labels, and availability settings, enabling Kubernetes workloads to run on Azure infrastructure while being managed through Google Kubernetes Engine. ``` gcp.gkemulticloud_azure_node_pool ``` ## Fields | Title | ID | Type | Data Type | Description | | ----------------------- | ---- | ------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------- | | _key | core | string | | ancestors | core | array | | annotations | core | hstore | Optional. Annotations on the node pool. This field has the same restrictions as Kubernetes annotations. The total size of all keys and values combined is limited to 256k. Keys can have 2 segments: prefix (optional) and name (required), separated by a slash (/). Prefix must be a DNS subdomain. Name must be 63 characters or less, begin and end with alphanumerics, with dashes (-), underscores (_), dots (.), and alphanumerics between. | | autoscaling | core | json | Required. Autoscaler configuration for this node pool. | | azure_availability_zone | core | string | Optional. The Azure availability zone of the nodes in this nodepool. When unspecified, it defaults to `1`. | | config | core | json | Required. The node configuration of the node pool. | | create_time | core | timestamp | Output only. The time at which this node pool was created. | | datadog_display_name | core | string | | errors | core | json | Output only. A set of errors found in the node pool. | | etag | core | string | Allows clients to perform consistent read-modify-writes through optimistic concurrency control. Can be sent on update and delete requests to ensure the client has an up-to-date value before proceeding. | | labels | core | array | | management | core | json | Optional. The Management configuration for this node pool. | | max_pods_constraint | core | json | Required. The constraint on the maximum number of pods that can be run simultaneously on a node in the node pool. | | name | core | string | The name of this resource. Node pool names are formatted as `projects//locations//azureClusters//azureNodePools/`. For more details on Google Cloud resource names, see [Resource Names](https://cloud.google.com/apis/design/resource_names) | | organization_id | core | string | | parent | core | string | | project_id | core | string | | project_number | core | string | | reconciling | core | bool | Output only. If set, there are currently pending changes to the node pool. | | region_id | core | string | | resource_name | core | string | | state | core | string | Output only. The current state of the node pool. | | subnet_id | core | string | Required. The ARM ID of the subnet where the node pool VMs run. Make sure it's a subnet under the virtual network in the cluster configuration. | | tags | core | hstore_csv | | uid | core | string | Output only. A globally unique identifier for the node pool. | | update_time | core | timestamp | Output only. The time at which this node pool was last updated. | | version | core | string | Required. The Kubernetes version (e.g. `1.19.10-gke.1000`) running on this node pool. | | zone_id | core | string |
