documentation compute compute engine guides send feedback create a mig that uses flex start vms stay organized with collections save and categorize content based on your preferences this document explains how to create a managed instance group mig that uses flex start virtual machine vm instances flex start vms run uninterrupted for up to seven days and help you obtain high demand resources such as gpus at a discounted price these features make flex start vms a cost effective solution for running short duration workloads such as model fine tuning and batch inference workloads the steps in this document explain how to create a mig that creates individual flex start vms as resources become available thus the mig might initially create only a portion of the requested vms and then add the remaining vms later as capacity permits if you want to create flex start vms all at once in a mig then see instead about mig resize requests for other methods that you can use to create migs see basic scenarios for creating a mig before you begin verify that you have sufficient quota for the resources that you want to request for more information see allocation quotas if you haven t already set up authentication authentication verifies your identity for access to google cloud services and apis to run code or samples from a local development environment you can authenticate to compute engine by selecting one of the following options select the tab for how you plan to use the samples on this page console when you use the google cloud console to access google cloud services and apis you don t need to set up authentication gcloud install the google cloud cli after installation initialize the google cloud cli by running the following command gcloud init if you re using an external identity provider idp you must first sign in to the gcloud cli with your federated identity note if you installed the gcloud cli previously make sure you have the latest version by running gcloud components update set a default region and zone rest to use the rest api samples on this page in a local development environment you use the credentials you provide to the gcloud cli install the google cloud cli if you re using an external identity provider idp you must first sign in to the gcloud cli with your federated identity for more information see authenticate for using rest in the google cloud authentication documentation required roles to get the permissions that you need to create migs that use flex start vms ask your administrator to grant you the compute instance admin v1 roles compute instanceadmin v1 iam role on the project for more information about granting roles see manage access to projects folders and organizations this predefined role contains the permissions required to create migs that use flex start vms to see the exact permissions that are required expand the required permissions section required permissions the following permissions are required to create migs that use flex start vms to create an instance template compute instancetemplates create on the project to create a mig compute instancegroupmanagers create on the project you might also be able to get these permissions with custom roles or other predefined roles create a mig that uses flex start vms to create a mig that uses flex start vms you must complete the following steps create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms create a regional or zonal mig create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms you must create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms as described in this section after you create the template you use it to create the mig note if you want to run data science or machine learning ml workloads then we recommend that you specify a deep learning vm images image in your instance template deep learning vm is a set of prepackaged os images that contain ml frameworks and essential tools for more information see choose an image in the deep learning vm documentation to create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms select one of the following options console in the google cloud console go to the instance templates page go to instance templates click create instance template the create an instance template page appears in the name field enter a name for the instance template in the location section select the type of instance template that you want to create for a regional instance template select regional and then select the region in which to create your template based on the machine type that you want your flex start vms to use specify a supported region for a global instance template select global in the machine configuration section select a supported machine series for flex start vms in the provisioning model section do the following in the vm provisioning model list select flex start to set a run duration for the vms that are created through the instance template in the enter number of hours field enter the number of hours that the vms run for the value must be between one hour 1 and seven days 168 when the vms reach the end of their run duration compute engine deletes each vm individually relative to its own creation time optional to change the default value boot disk type or image in the boot disk section click change then follow the prompts to change the boot disk click create gcloud to create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms use the gcloud compute instance templates create command the following command creates a regional instance template if you want to create a global instance template then use the same command without the instance template region flag gcloud compute instance templates create instance_template_name image project image_project image family image_family instance template region region instance termination action delete machine type machine_type maintenance policy terminate max run duration run_duration provisioning model flex_start reservation affinity none replace the following instance_template_name the name of the instance template to create image_project the image project that contains the image for example debian cloud for more information about the supported image projects see public images image_family an image family which specifies the most recent non deprecated os image for example if you specify debian 12 you use the latest version in the debian 12 image family for more information about using image families see image families best practices note if you want to use a specific version of the os image such as debian 12 bookworm v20240701 then replace the image family flag with the image flag region the region where to create the instance template based on the machine type that you want the flex start vms to use specify a supported region machine_type the gpu machine type or h4d machine type to use for the flex start vms if you specify an n1 machine type then you must include the accelerator flag to define the number and type of gpus to attach to your vms run_duration the duration you want the requested vms to run when the vms reach the end of their run duration compute engine deletes each vm individually relative to its own creation time you must format the run duration as the number of days hours minutes or seconds followed by d h m and s respectively for example specify 30m for 30 minutes or 1d2h3m4s for one day two hours three minutes and four seconds the value must be between 10 minutes and seven days rest to create an instance template that s configured for creating flex start vms make one of the following post requests to create a regional instance template regioninstancetemplates
