Path parameters

Field

Description

snapshotId

string

Required field. ID of the Snapshot resource to return.
To get the snapshot ID, use a SnapshotService.List request.

Response

HTTP Code: 200 - OK

A Snapshot resource. For more information, see Snapshots.

Field

Description

id

string

ID of the snapshot.

folderId

string

ID of the folder that the snapshot belongs to.

createdAt

string (date-time)

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).

name

string

Name of the snapshot. 1-63 characters long.

description

string

Description of the snapshot. 0-256 characters long.

labels

object (map<string, string>)

Resource labels as key:value pairs. Maximum of 64 per resource.

storageSize

string (int64)

Size of the snapshot, specified in bytes.

diskSize

string (int64)

Size of the disk when the snapshot was created, specified in bytes.

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.

status

enum (Status)

Current status of the snapshot.

  • STATUS_UNSPECIFIED
  • CREATING: Snapshot is being created.
  • READY: Snapshot is ready to use.
  • ERROR: Snapshot encountered a problem and cannot operate.
  • DELETING: Snapshot is being deleted.

sourceDiskId

string

ID of the source disk used to create this snapshot.

hardwareGeneration

HardwareGeneration

If specified, forces the same HardwareGeneration features to be applied to the instance
created using this snapshot as source for the boot disk. Otherwise the current default will be used.

kmsKey

KMSKey

Key encryption key info.

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

KMSKey

Field

Description

keyId

string

ID of KMS symmetric key

versionId

string

Version of KMS symmetric key
