Whether virtualization instructions are available. For example, Secure Virtual Machine for AMD shapes or VT-x for Intel shapes.
Instance Platform Configuration Configuration Map for flexible setting input.
Whether the Access Control Service is enabled on the instance. When enabled, the platform can enforce PCIe device isolation, required for VFIO device pass-through.
Whether the input-output memory management unit is enabled.
Whether the Measured Boot feature is enabled on the instance.
Whether the instance is a confidential instance. If this value is {@code true}, the instance is a confidential instance. The default value is {@code false}.
Whether Secure Boot is enabled on the instance.
Whether symmetric multithreading is enabled on the instance. Symmetric multithreading is also called simultaneous multithreading (SMT) or Intel Hyper-Threading.
Intel and AMD processors have two hardware execution threads per core (OCPU). SMT permits multiple independent threads of execution, to better use the resources and increase the efficiency of the CPU. When multithreading is disabled, only one thread is permitted to run on each core, which can provide higher or more predictable performance for some workloads.
Whether the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is enabled on the instance.
The number of NUMA nodes per socket (NPS).
The platform configuration of a bare metal GPU instance that uses the BM.GPU4.8 shape (the AMD Rome platform).
