[id="capi-yaml-machine-template-gcp_{context}"]
= Sample YAML for a Cluster API machine template resource on {gcp-full}

The machine template resource is provider-specific and defines the basic properties of the machines that a compute machine set creates.
The compute machine set references this template when creating machines.
