Zonal resources are only accessible by other resources within the same zone. These include the following objects:
- VM instances: These reside in a particular zone.
- Zonal persistent disks: These provide persistent storage to VM instances. They can also be shared as disks between projects for the creation of snapshots and images, but not disk attachments.
- Machine types: These define the hardware configuration for your VM instances and are defined for any particular zone.
- Zonal managed instance groups: These allow you to autoscale groups of instances. The scope can be set to either regions or zones.
Now that we understand the theory, let's have a look at how we create a project.
