Create a VM

Startup script run inside the guest the first time this VM boots. Must begin with a shebang (e.g. "#!/bin/bash"); a raw cloud-config document is rejected. Runs once per disk, not once per boot: a stop/start keeps the disk and does not re-run it, while a VM that lands on a fresh disk does. It runs as root once the network and your SSH keys are up, and its output goes to the VM's logs. A script that fails does not stop the VM from starting or from being billed, so check the logs rather than assuming it succeeded.

Place this VM on a specific node. Required to use capacity reserved to your org; omit to use the public pool. There is no fallback: if the node has no room for this GPU count the request is refused rather than placed elsewhere. A node you have no rights on reads as not found.
