NamestringModel Name: Speedy O Type|O, Speedy Shared Type|OM, Speedy Memory Type|OMEM, Speedy PRO Type|OPRO, General N Type|N, High Frequency C Type|C and GPU G Type|G, etc.No
StatusstringMachine Status: Available|Normal, Public Test|Beta, Sold Out|Soldout, Hidden|HiddenNo
CpuPlatformsCpuPlatformsSupported CPU platforms, and returns classified according to Intel, AMD, and Ampere.No
Disksarray[Disks]Disk Information. The main categories of disks are as follows: Cloud Disk|cloudDisk, Normal Local Disk|normalLocalDisk, and SSD Local Disk|ssdLocalDisk.

Among them, Cloud Disk mainly includes Normal Cloud Disk|CLOUD_NORMAL, SSD Cloud Disk|CLOUD_SSD, and RSSD Cloud Disk|CLOUD_RSSD. Normal Local Disk only includes Normal Local Disk|LOCAL_NORMAL. SSD Local Disk only includes SSD Local Disk|LOCAL_SSD.

MinimalSize is the minimum value of the disk. If this field is not present, the minimum value can be taken from the base image Size value (20G for Linux, 40G for Windows). MaximalSize is the maximum value of the disk.

InstantResize indicates whether the system disk allows expansion. If it is a local disk, expansion is not allowed, and InstantResize is false.

Features are the services supported by the disk: Data Ark|DATAARK, Snapshot Service|SNAPSHOT, Encrypted Disk|Encrypted.
No
MachineSizesarray[MachineSizes]GPU, CPU, and memory information. Gpu refers to the specifications that GPU can support, while Cpu and Memory refer to the specifications that CPU and memory can support respectively. If it is not a GPU model, GPU is 0.

MinimalCpuPlatform represents that this CPU and memory specification can only be supported on the listed CPU platforms.
No
Featuresarray[Features]Features supported by the virtual machine. The currently supported features are Network Enhancement|NetCapability and Hot Upgrade|Hotplug.

Network Enhancement is divided into Off|Normal, Network Enhancement 1.0|Super, and Network Enhancement 2.0|Ultra.

Name is the name of the supported feature, Modes are the available mode categories, and RelatedToImageFeature is the tag on the image that supports this feature. For example, if the Features field returned by DescribeImage contains HotPlug, it means that the image supports hot upgrades.

MinimalCpuPlatform indicates that this feature is only supported by the listed CPU platforms and above.
No
MachineClassstringDistinguish whether it is a GPU model: GPU model|GPU, non-GPU model|Normal.No
GraphicsMemoryGraphicsMemoryThe metric of GPU's video memory, value is the value, the unit is GB.No
PerformancePerformanceThe performance indicator of the GPU, where 'value' is the value, and the unit is TFlops.No
