Dataflow supports Hyperdisk Balanced disks for worker VMs
Dataflow now supports using Hyperdisk Balanced disks for worker VMs, allowing independent provisioning of IOPS and throughput. This change offers more flexibility in configuring disk performance for Dataflow jobs. Users can leverage new pipeline options to specify desired disk performance, applicable to Java, Python, and Go SDKs.
Features (1) ›
- Dataflow
You can now use Hyperdisk Balanced disks for Dataflow worker VMs. With Hyperdisk Balanced disks, you can provision IOPS and throughput independently of disk size by using the diskProvisionedIOPS and diskProvisionedThroughput pipeline options (Java SDK) or disk_provisioned_iops and disk_provisioned_throughput_mibps pipeline options (Python and Go SDKs). For more information, see Disk type and Provision IOPS and throughput .
