The compute_placement_spec structure contains information used to place a virtual machine on compute resources.

Attributes:

Name	Type	Description
Optional
resource_pool	string	Resource pool into which the virtual machine should be placed. Optional. This field is currently required if both `host` and `cluster` are unset. In the future, if this field is unset, the system will attempt to choose a suitable resource pool for the virtual machine; if a resource pool cannot be chosen, the virtual machine creation operation will fail.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `ResourcePool`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `ResourcePool`.
host	string	Host onto which the virtual machine should be placed. If `host` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `host`. If `host` and `cluster` are both specified, `host` must be a member of `cluster`. Optional. This field may be unset if `resource_pool` or `cluster` is specified. If unset, the system will attempt to choose a suitable host for the virtual machine; if a host cannot be chosen, the virtual machine creation operation will fail.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `HostSystem`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `HostSystem`.
cluster	string	Cluster into which the virtual machine should be placed. If `cluster` and `resource_pool` are both specified, `resource_pool` must belong to `cluster`. If `cluster` and `host` are both specified, `host` must be a member of `cluster`. Optional. If `resource_pool` or `host` is specified, it is recommended that this field be unset.When clients pass a value of this structure as a parameter, the field must be an identifier for the resource type: `ClusterComputeResource`. When operations return a value of this structure as a result, the field will be an identifier for the resource type: `ClusterComputeResource`.
