class
string
Enum:
nanodestandarddedicatedpremiumgpuhighmem
The class of the Linode Type.
We currently offer six classes of compute instances:
nanode - Nanode instances are good for low-duty workloads, where performance isn’t critical. Note: As of June 16th, 2020, Nanodes became 1 GB Linodes in the Cloud Manager, however, the API, the CLI, and billing will continue to refer to these instances as Nanodes.
standard - Standard Shared instances are good for medium-duty workloads and are a good mix of performance, resources, and price. Note: As of June 16th, 2020, Standard Linodes in the Cloud Manager became Shared Linodes, however, the API, the CLI, and billing will continue to refer to these instances as Standard Linodes.
dedicated - Dedicated CPU instances are good for full-duty workloads where consistent performance is important.
premium (limited Regions) - In addition to the features of Dedicated instances, Premium instances come equipped with the latest AMD EPYC™ CPUs, ensuring your applications are running on the latest hardware with consistently high performance. Only available in
Regions
with “Premium Plans” in their capabilities
gpu (limited Regions) - Linodes with dedicated NVIDIA Quadro® RTX 6000 GPUs accelerate highly specialized applications such as machine learning, AI, and video transcoding. Only available in
Regions
with “GPU Linodes” in their capabilities
highmem - High Memory instances favor RAM over other resources, and can be good for memory hungry use cases like caching and in-memory databases. All High Memory plans contain dedicated CPU cores.

The field in the request that caused this error. This may be a path, separated by periods in the case of nested fields. In some cases this may come back as “null” if the error is not specific to any single element of the request.
reason
string
What happened to cause this error. In most cases, this can be fixed immediately by changing the data you sent in the request, but in some cases you will be instructed to
open a Support Ticket
or perform some other action before you can complete the request successfully.
