Hi @gsneha26 !
This is an interesting question. We have not seen a lot of use case for local SSDs with dsub
and batch style workflows. In general, PD standard has been the best choice, notably when cost is considered. We added the --disk-type
flag as enough people asked about PD SSD; even then a large PD standard is almost always the better choice.
Can you share more about the type of task you are looking to enable and any validation done on a GCE VM that your workflow would actually benefit from local SSD (including the cost trade-off)?
I don't see any indication that the Pipelines API includes a flag for specifying to use an NVMe interface:
The right place to inquire further on that would be the the gcp-life-sciences-discuss Google group as noted here:
Once they have plumbed through a flag for the disks interface (which is in the GCE API):
we could plumb a flag through dsub
.

Is there some way to specify using
nvme
interface with--disk-type local_ssd
?
