I'd like a Vertex AI notebook to output the machine type it's running. I found this StackOverflow reference to use the Compute Engine metadata server.
But this doesn't work with Vertex AI. (Not all roads lead to Compute Engine.)
Here's how I did it, using the notebook ID given in the workbench:
gcloud notebooks runtimes describe --format="value(virtualMachine.virtualMachineConfig.machineType)" --location=<region> <notebook_id>
n1-standard-2
The value
format prints out just the return value: no header or other information to parse out. I learned a lot about potential formats, see also: gcloud topic formats
So in a notebook running Python, just do:
! gcloud etc
