Deploy VMs with gVNIC network interface #110

Open steruck opened 3 months ago

steruck commented 3 months ago

What would you like to be added: gVNIC is the next generation network interface which succeeds VirtIO. Newer machine series and networking features require gVNIC instead of VirtIO. Instance types that exclusively support gVNIC network interfaces such as h3-standard-88 already use gVNIC without explicit declaration.

gVNIC is supported and recommended on all machine families, machine types, and generations.

OS images need to support gVNIC, which GardenLinux and SUSE already do in newer versions. Preferred solution would be to auto-enable it based on the image capabilities.

Why is this needed:
