Compute Engine C4D Instances Increase Hyperdisk Throughput
infragcpengineergcp-compute-engine
feature
Compute Engine's C4D instances now offer higher maximum throughput limits for Hyperdisk Balanced volumes. This enhancement benefits users requiring faster disk I/O on larger machine types, such as c4d-*-96, c4d-*-192, and c4d-*-384. The updated limits are detailed in the Hyperdisk Balanced performance documentation.
