Field	Description
folder_id	string Required field. ID of the folder to create a placement group in. To get the folder ID, use a yandex.cloud.resourcemanager.v1.FolderService.List request. The maximum string length in characters is 50.
name	string Name of the placement group. Value must match the regular expression `\\|[a-z]([-_a-z0-9]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?`.
description	string Description of the placement group. The maximum string length in characters is 256.
labels	object (map<string, string>) Resource labels as `key:value` pairs. No more than 64 per resource. The maximum string length in characters for each value is 63. Each value must match the regular expression `[-_./\@0-9a-z]`. The string length in characters for each key must be 1-63. Each key must match the regular expression `[a-z][-_./\@0-9a-z]`.
zone_id	string Required field. ID of the availability zone where the placement group resides. To get a list of available zones use the yandex.cloud.compute.v1.ZoneService.List request. The maximum string length in characters is 50.
spread_placement_strategy	DiskSpreadPlacementStrategy Distribute disks over distinct failure domains. Includes only one of the fields `spread_placement_strategy`, `partition_placement_strategy`. Placement strategy.
partition_placement_strategy	DiskPartitionPlacementStrategy Distribute disks over partitions. Includes only one of the fields `spread_placement_strategy`, `partition_placement_strategy`. Placement strategy.

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.
created_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp Creation timestamp.
created_by	string ID of the user or service account who initiated the operation.
modified_at	google.protobuf.Timestamp The time when the Operation resource was last modified.
done	bool 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	CreateDiskPlacementGroupMetadata 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	google.rpc.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	DiskPlacementGroup 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.
