Feature Overview (aka. Goal Summary)
Add support to GCP C4/C4A Machine Series to be used as Control Plane and Compute Nodes when deploying Openshift on Google Cloud
Goals (aka. expected user outcomes)
As a user, I want to deploy OpenShift on Google Cloud using C4/C4A Machine Series for the Control Plane and Compute Node so I can take advantage of these new Machine types
Requirements (aka. Acceptance Criteria):
OpenShift can be deployed in Google Cloud using the new C4/C4A Machine Series for the Control Plane and Compute Nodes starting in OpenShift 4.17.z

Background
Google has made C4/C4A Machine Series available on their cloud offering.
Documentation Considerations
The documentation will be updated adding the new disk type that needs to be supported as part of this enablement. Also the C4/C4A Machine Series will be added as tested Machine types for Google Cloud when deploying OpenShift
