Field |
Description |
|
folderId |
string Required field. ID of the folder to create a snapshot in. |
|
diskId |
string Required field. ID of the disk to create the snapshot from. |
|
name |
string Name of the snapshot. |
|
description |
string Description of the snapshot. |
|
labels |
string Resource labels as |
|
hardwareGeneration |
Specify the overrides to hardware_generation of a source disk, image or snapshot, |
HardwareGeneration
A set of features, specific to a particular Compute hardware generation.
They are not necessary supported by every host OS or distro, thus they are fixed to an image
and are applied to all instances created with it as their boot disk image.
These features significantly determine how the instance is created, thus cannot be changed after the fact.

Field |
Description |
|
legacyFeatures |
Includes only one of the fields |
|
generation2Features |
Includes only one of the fields |
LegacyHardwareFeatures
A first hardware generation, by default compatible with all legacy images.
Allows switching to PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and back.

Generation2HardwareFeatures
A second hardware generation, which by default assumes PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2
and UEFI boot (with UEFI related features).
