Activity

zone.createVM('new-vm-name', { // ... options ... scheduling: { preemptible: true } }, function(err, vm, operation, apiResponse) {});
The second argument to
createVMis the same object that is outlined here: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/latest/instances -- so in theory, if that supports what you need, so do we :)Going to close. Thanks for asking. Please re-open if this didn't resolve the issue.

The createVM API method does not seem to expose the
--preemptibleoption of the command line tool:Is this achieved in another way or is it missing?
