Restore the N2 compute machine type in all verification jobs.

All seven changed values remain in the N4 family. Reducing the size from n4-standard-4 to n4-standard-2 does not resolve the pd-standard incompatibility. Monitoring PVC attachment and installation can still fail.

  • ci-operator/config/openshift/verification-tests/openshift-verification-tests-main__installation-nightly-5.0.yaml#L1207-L1207: Set the compute node type to the intended N2 equivalent.

The PR objective states that N4 machines cannot attach pd-standard disks.

Google Cloud Compute Engine persistent disk SSD unsupported machine types C4 N4 H4 X4 M4 A4 G4 hyperdisk-balanced

💡 Result:

For the latest generation Google Cloud Compute Engine machine series, including C4, N4, H4, X4, M4, A4, and G4, standard Persistent Disk (pd-standard) and SSD Persistent Disk (pd-ssd) are generally not supported as they have been superseded by Hyperdisk block storage technology [1][2][3]. Google Cloud documentation explicitly indicates that these modern machine families are designed to utilize Hyperdisk for durable block storage [1][3]. Specifically, these series typically require the use of Hyperdisk Balanced or other Hyperdisk variants [1][4][5]. Attempts to provision these machine types with legacy persistent disk types (pd-standard or pd-ssd) will result in configuration errors [4]. Key details regarding storage for these machine series include: - Hyperdisk Requirement: Hyperdisk is the primary durable block storage offering for these latest machine series [1][3]. - Unsupported Legacy Disks: Legacy Persistent Disk types, such as pd-standard and pd-ssd, are largely incompatible with these series [2]. For example, official support matrices show that SSD PD and Balanced PD are listed as unsupported (marked with a dash) for families such as C4, N4, H4, X4, M4, A4, and G4 [2]. - Hyperdisk Balanced: This is the recommended block storage solution for the majority of workloads on these machine types, offering configurable capacity, throughput, and IOPS [5][6][3]. For the most accurate and current information on specific disk support for a given machine type, refer to the official Google Cloud documentation on disk type compatibility [2][6].

Preserve Hyperdisk selection for affected machine types.

create_cluster_machines applies --boot-disk-type=pd-ssd to both control-plane and worker node_type values. C4, N4, H4D, X4, M4, A4, and G4 machine types do not support pd-ssd and require hyperdisk-balanced, so instance creation can fail. Restore machine-family-specific disk selection.

In `@ci-operator/step-registry/upi/install/gcp/upi-install-gcp-commands.sh` at
line 637, Update create_cluster_machines so the gcloud instance creation command
selects hyperdisk-balanced for C4, N4, H4D, X4, M4, A4, and G4 machine types,
while retaining pd-ssd for supported machine families. Use the selected disk
type when constructing CMD instead of hardcoding --boot-disk-type=pd-ssd.
