You can observe real-time virtual machine (VM) distribution across zones,

## Feature Feature You can observe real-time virtual machine (VM) distribution across zones, machine types, and instance states in your managed instance groups (MIGs) by using the **GCE MIG Instance Distribution Monitoring** dashboard in Cloud Monitoring. When your group uses location flexibility across zones, instance flexibility across machine types, or both, this visibility helps you monitor capacity allocation and diagnose runtime fallback behavior.
