locations property

Location configurations mapped by location name. Currently only zone names are supported and must be represented as valid internal URLs, such as zones/us-central1-a. The bulkInsert operation doesn't create instances in an AI zone, even if an AI zone is available in the specified region.

For example, if you set a DENY preference for us-central1-a, Compute Engine will consider us-central1-b and us-central1-c for instance creation, but not us-central1-ai1a. Also, you can't use the locations[] configuration to allow instance creation in an AI zone. To include an AI zone in bulkInsert operations, use the locationPolicy.zones[] field.
