'Machine family N2 and GPUs

I was interested in trying the N2 CPU family of CPUs.

I tried creating a new instance using N2 CPU family - but no matter which Region/Zone I selected, the GPUs option remained ghosted (not selectable).

Is there a restriction on N2 CPUs to not allow for GPUs to be added?



Solution 1:[1]

As mentioned in the documentation

GPUs are currently only supported with general-purpose N1 machine types.

So....

Solution 2:[2]

Google have moved the restrictions text to a new place. New document link: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/about-gpus#restrictions
