Body parameters

{
  "folderId": "string",
  "diskId": "string",
  "name": "string",
  "description": "string",

    // Includes only one of the fields `legacyFeatures`, `generation2Features`
    "legacyFeatures": {
      "pciTopology": "string"
    },
    "generation2Features": "object"
    // end of the list of possible fields
  }
}

Field

Description

folderId

string

Required field. ID of the folder to create a snapshot in.
To get the folder ID use a yandex.cloud.resourcemanager.v1.FolderService.List request.

diskId

string

Required field. ID of the disk to create the snapshot from.
To get the disk ID use a yandex.cloud.compute.v1.DiskService.List request.

name

string

Name of the snapshot.

description

string

Description of the snapshot.

labels

object (map<string, string>)

Resource labels as key:value pairs.

hardwareGeneration

HardwareGeneration

Specify the overrides to hardware_generation of a source disk, image or snapshot,
or to the default values if the source does not define it.

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

LegacyHardwareFeatures

Includes only one of the fields legacyFeatures, generation2Features.

generation2Features

object

Includes only one of the fields legacyFeatures, generation2Features.

LegacyHardwareFeatures

A first hardware generation, by default compatible with all legacy images.
Allows switching to PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and back.

Field

Description

pciTopology

enum (PCITopology)

  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_UNSPECIFIED
  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_V1
  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2

Response

HTTP Code: 200 - OK

}

An Operation resource. For more information, see Operation.

Field

Description

id

string

ID of the operation.

description

string

Description of the operation. 0-256 characters long.

createdAt

string (date-time)

Creation timestamp.

String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from
0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z, i.e. from 0 to 9 digits for fractions of a second.

To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the
Protocol Buffers reference.
In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).

createdBy

string

ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.

modifiedAt

string (date-time)

The time when the Operation resource was last modified.

String in RFC3339 text format. The range of possible values is from
0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z, i.e. from 0 to 9 digits for fractions of a second.

To work with values in this field, use the APIs described in the
Protocol Buffers reference.
In some languages, built-in datetime utilities do not support nanosecond precision (9 digits).

done

boolean

If the value is false, it means the operation is still in progress.
If true, the operation is completed, and either error or response is available.

metadata

CreateSnapshotMetadata

Service-specific metadata associated with the operation.
It typically contains the ID of the target resource that the operation is performed on.
Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the metadata type, if any.

error

Status

The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.

Includes only one of the fields error, response.

The operation result.
If done == false and there was no failure detected, neither error nor response is set.
If done == false and there was a failure detected, error is set.
If done == true, exactly one of error or response is set.

response

Snapshot

The normal response of the operation in case of success.
If the original method returns no data on success, such as Delete,
the response is google.protobuf.Empty.
If the original method is the standard Create/Update,
the response should be the target resource of the operation.
Any method that returns a long-running operation should document the response type, if any.

Includes only one of the fields error, response.

The operation result.
If done == false and there was no failure detected, neither error nor response is set.
If done == false and there was a failure detected, error is set.
If done == true, exactly one of error or response is set.

CreateSnapshotMetadata

Field

Description

snapshotId

string

ID of the snapshot that is being created.

diskId

string

ID of the source disk used to create this snapshot.

Status

The error result of the operation in case of failure or cancellation.

productIds[]

string

License IDs that indicate which licenses are attached to this resource.
License IDs are used to calculate additional charges for the use of the virtual machine.

The correct license ID is generated by the platform. IDs are inherited by new resources created from this resource.

If you know the license IDs, specify them when you create the image.
For example, if you create a disk image using a third-party utility and load it into Object Storage, the license IDs will be lost.
You can specify them in the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.ImageService.Create request.

enum (Status)

Current status of the snapshot.

  • STATUS_UNSPECIFIED

created using this snapshot as source for the boot disk. Otherwise the current default will be used.

kmsKey

KMSKey

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
