GCP Compute Engine MIG Instance Distribution Monitoring

infragcpengineergcp-compute-engine
feature

GCP Compute Engine now offers a Cloud Monitoring dashboard for Managed Instance Groups (MIGs) to observe real-time VM distribution across zones and machine types. This enhanced visibility aids in monitoring capacity allocation and diagnosing runtime fallback behavior, especially for groups utilizing location and instance flexibility. The feature is available now for users managing MIGs.

Features (1)
  • Compute Engine

    You can observe real-time virtual machine (VM) distribution across zones, machine types, and instance states in your managed instance groups (MIGs) by using the GCE MIG Instance Distribution Monitoring dashboard in Cloud Monitoring. When your group uses location flexibility across zones, instance flexibility across machine types, or both, this visibility helps you monitor capacity allocation and diagnose runtime fallback behavior. For more information, see Monitor instance distribution in MIGs .
