AltostratusF5 in Google Cloud on SPOT VM
Hi All,
I'm using this template to create one F5 VE in Google Cloud.
https://github.com/F5Networks/f5-google-gdm-templates/tree/main/supported/standalone/1nic/existing-stack/byol
It works well, just since this is for myself, doing some labs and study, I would need to deploy the VM with the provisioning model=SPOT setting, in order to save some costs.
I tried to research, edit the yaml file or even the python file, but no luck, it always gets deployed as a Standard VM instead of SPOT.
I tried the followings:
- added provisioningModel: SPOT to the yaml file
- added 'provisioningModel': 'SPOT' to the py file
- tried to execute the gcloud deployment command with the additional --provisioning-model=SPOT
No luck with any of these, can you suggest how to deploy a minimalist F5 LTM VE in Google Cloud as SPOT VM? Thank you.
I solved my own problem 🙂 I changed the original F5 template, so now it is able to create Spot VM if needed.
Changes are in the yaml and the py file as well.
