Authorization

To use this building block you will have to grant access to at least one of the following scopes:

  • View and manage your data across Google Cloud Platform services
  • View and manage your Google Compute Engine resources

Input

This building block consumes 32 input parameters

  = Parameter name
  = Format

project STRING Required

Project ID for this request

zone STRING Required

The name of the zone for this request

disk STRING Required

Name of the persistent disk to snapshot

guestFlush BOOLEAN

[Input Only] Specifies to create an application consistent snapshot by informing the OS to prepare for the snapshot process. Currently only supported on Windows instances using the Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)

requestId STRING

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)

autoCreated BOOLEAN

[Output Only] Set to true if snapshots are automatically by applying resource policy on the target disk

creationTimestamp STRING

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format

description STRING

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource

diskSizeGb INTEGER

[Output Only] Size of the snapshot, specified in GB

id INTEGER

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server

kind STRING

[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#snapshot for Snapshot resources

labelFingerprint BINARY

A fingerprint for the labels being applied to this snapshot, which is essentially a hash of the labels set used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update labels. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change labels, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a snapshot

labels OBJECT

Labels to apply to this snapshot. These can be later modified by the setLabels method. Label values may be empty

labels.customKey.value STRING Required

Labels to apply to this snapshot. These can be later modified by the setLabels method. Label values may be empty

licenseCodes[] INTEGER

licenses[] STRING

name STRING

Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash

selfLink STRING

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource

snapshotEncryptionKey OBJECT

Represents a customer-supplied encryption key

[Output only] The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource

sourceDisk STRING

[Output Only] The source disk used to create this snapshot

sourceDiskEncryptionKey OBJECT

Represents a customer-supplied encryption key

sourceDiskEncryptionKey.kmsKeyName STRING

The name of the encryption key that is stored in Google Cloud KMS

Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource

sourceDiskEncryptionKey.sha256 STRING

[Output only] The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource

sourceDiskId STRING

[Output Only] The ID value of the disk used to create this snapshot. This value may be used to determine whether the snapshot was taken from the current or a previous instance of a given disk name

status ENUMERATION

[Output Only] The status of the snapshot. This can be CREATING, DELETING, FAILED, READY, or UPLOADING

storageBytes INTEGER

[Output Only] A size of the storage used by the snapshot. As snapshots share storage, this number is expected to change with snapshot creation/deletion

storageBytesStatus ENUMERATION

[Output Only] An indicator whether storageBytes is in a stable state or it is being adjusted as a result of shared storage reallocation. This status can either be UPDATING, meaning the size of the snapshot is being updated, or UP_TO_DATE, meaning the size of the snapshot is up-to-date

storageLocations[] STRING

Output
