Written by
Updated at December 17, 2024

Returns the specified Snapshot resource.

To get the list of available Snapshot resources, make a List request.

gRPC request

rpc Get (GetSnapshotRequest) returns (Snapshot)

GetSnapshotRequest

{
  "snapshot_id": "string"
}

Field

Description

snapshot_id

string

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

Snapshot

{
  "id": "string",
  "folder_id": "string",
  "created_at": "google.protobuf.Timestamp",
  "name": "string",
  "description": "string",
  "labels": "map<string, string>",
  "storage_size": "int64",
  "disk_size": "int64",
  "product_ids": [
    "string"
  ],
  "status": "Status",
  "source_disk_id": "string",
  "hardware_generation": {
    // Includes only one of the fields `legacy_features`, `generation2_features`
    "legacy_features": {
      "pci_topology": "PCITopology"
    },
    "generation2_features": "Generation2HardwareFeatures"
    // end of the list of possible fields
  },
  "kms_key": {
    "key_id": "string",
    "version_id": "string"
  }
}

A Snapshot resource. For more information, see Snapshots.

Field

Description

id

string

ID of the snapshot.

folder_id

string

ID of the folder that the snapshot belongs to.

created_at

google.protobuf.Timestamp

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.

storage_size

int64

Size of the snapshot, specified in bytes.

disk_size

int64

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

product_ids[]

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.

source_disk_id

string

ID of the source disk used to create this snapshot.

hardware_generation

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.

kms_key

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

legacy_features

LegacyHardwareFeatures

Includes only one of the fields legacy_features, generation2_features.

generation2_features

Generation2HardwareFeatures

Includes only one of the fields legacy_features, generation2_features.

LegacyHardwareFeatures

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

Field

Description

pci_topology

enum PCITopology

  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_UNSPECIFIED
  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_V1
  • PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2

Generation2HardwareFeatures

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

Field

Description

Empty

KMSKey

Field

Description

key_id

string

ID of KMS symmetric key

version_id

string

Version of KMS symmetric key
