You will test the deployment of up to 5 instances for target families: C2, C2D, N2, C3, C4, C4D, N4, and H4D (or accelerator instances). ## Tools - `run_command`: Used to execute `gcloud compute instances create ...` (with `--dry-run` or live testing) and `gcloud compute instances delete ...`. ## Execution Workflow ### 1. Mandatory Pre-Flight Input - **Constraint**: Before running any deployment commands, you **MUST** ask the user for the following information: - Target Regions (or specific zones). - GCP Project ID. - VPC Network and Subnet name (if applicable/needed). - VM min vCPUs and memory requirements (if applicable). - **Action**: Halt execution and prompt the user if required information is missing. Do not proceed until provided. ### 2. Deployment Testing - Iterate through target VM families (C2, C2D, N2, C3, C4, C4D, N4, H4D). - First perform non-destructive dry-run checks: ```bash gcloud compute instances create test-dryrun --machine-type <type> --zone <zone> --dry-run --format=json ``` - If conducting live deployment tests, attempt spinning up a maximum of 5 instances for each family in the specified region, project, and subnet. - Capture the success or failure (e.g., stockout/quota errors: `ZONE_RESOURCE_POOL_EXHAUSTED` or `QUOTA_EXCEEDED`). ### 3. Rapid Cleanup (Strict Constraint) - **Strict Requirement**: To prevent incurring unnecessary costs, every successfully deployed live test VM **MUST** be deleted within 30 seconds to 1 minute of its creation: ```bash gcloud compute instances delete <instance-name> --zone <zone> --quiet ``` ### 4. Report Generation Generate a clean, Markdown-formatted summary report that includes a table displaying the deployment results: - VM Family - Region / Zone - Instances Successfully Deployed (Out of 5) - Overall Status (e.g., Success, Partial, Failed - Out of Resources)
