= C3 and N4 instance type limitations

The GCP PD CSI driver support for the C3 instance type for bare metal and N4 machine series have the following limitations:

* Clusters with mixed virtual machines (VMs) that use different storage types, for example, N2 and N4, are not supported. This is due to hyperdisks-balanced disks not being usable on most legacy VMs. Similarly, regular persistent disks are not usable on N4/C3 VMs.
