Synopsis

• Defines an Instance Template resource that provides configuration settings for your virtual machine instances. Instance templates are not tied to the lifetime of an instance and can be used and reused as to deploy virtual machines. You can also use different templates to create different virtual machine configurations. Instance templates are required when you create a managed instance group.
• Tip: Disks should be set to autoDelete=true so that leftover disks are not left behind on machine deletion.
