- Intel Haswell or better is available in every zone around the world
- Neither Kubernetes nor Typhoon have a particular minimum processor family. However, a few Google Cloud zones still default to Sandy/Ivy bridge (scheduled to shift April 2019). Price is only based on machine type so it is beneficial to opt for the next processor family
- Intel Haswell is a suitable minimum since it still allows plenty of liberty in choosing any region or machine type
- Likely a slight increase to preemption probability in a few zones, but any lower probability on Sandy/Ivy bridge is due to lower desirability as they're phased out

* Google Cloud API implements `min_cpu_platform` to mean "use exactly this CPU" * Fix error creating clusters in newer regions lacking Haswell platform (e.g. europe-west2) (#438) * Reverts #405, added in v1.13.4 * Original goal of ignoring old Ivy/Sandy bridge CPUs in older regions will be achieved shortly anyway. Google Cloud is deprecating those CPUs in April 2019 * https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform#how_selecting_a_minimum_cpu_platform_works
