GCP Compute Reservation

A GCP Compute Reservation is a zone-specific booking of virtual machine resources (vCPUs, memory and, optionally, local SSD) that guarantees capacity for future VM instances, even when the zone is under heavy load. Reservations allow teams to ensure that critical workloads can always start while also helping to match long-running capacity to discounted pricing models. You can choose to automatically consume the reservation whenever an eligible instance is created or keep it for explicitly-targeted VMs. Further details can be found in the official Google documentation: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/reservations/get

gcp-compute-region-commitment​

A zone-level compute reservation may be backed by, or consume quota from, a regional commitment. Linking a reservation to its parent gcp-compute-region-commitment lets Overmind show whether the reserved capacity is covered by an existing commitment (and therefore eligible for discounted pricing) or whether it is incurring on-demand costs.
