Creates a new snapshot of a disk. For more information, see the official documentation.

Example usageExample usage

//
// Create a new Compute Snapshot.
//
resource "yandex_compute_snapshot" "default" {
  name           = "test-snapshot"
  source_disk_id = "test_disk_id"

  labels = {
    my-label = "my-label-value"
  }
}

SchemaSchema

RequiredRequired

  • source_disk_id (String) ID of the disk to create a snapshot from.

OptionalOptional

  • description (String) The resource description.
  • folder_id (String) The folder identifier that resource belongs to. If it is not provided, the default provider folder-id is used.
  • hardware_generation (Block List, Max: 1) Hardware generation and its features, which will be applied to the instance when this snapshot is used as a boot disk source. Provide this property if you wish to override this value, which otherwise is inherited from the source. (see below for nested schema)
  • labels (Map of String) A set of key/value label pairs which assigned to resource.
  • name (String) The resource name.
  • timeouts (Block, Optional) (see below for nested schema)

Read-OnlyRead-Only

  • created_at (String) The creation timestamp of the resource.
  • disk_size (Number) Size of the disk when the snapshot was created, specified in GB.
  • id (String) The ID of this resource.
  • storage_size (Number) Size of the snapshot, specified in GB.

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for hardware_generation

Optional:

  • generation2_features (Block List, Max: 1) A newer hardware generation, which always uses PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and UEFI boot. (see below for nested schema)
  • legacy_features (Block List, Max: 1) Defines the first known hardware generation and its features. (see below for nested schema)

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for hardware_generation.generation2_features

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for hardware_generation.legacy_features

Optional:

  • pci_topology (String) A variant of PCI topology, one of PCI_TOPOLOGY_V1 or PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2.

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for timeouts

Optional:

  • create (String) A string that can be parsed as a duration consisting of numbers and unit suffixes, such as "30s" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "s" (seconds), "m" (minutes), "h" (hours).
  • delete (String) A string that can be parsed as a duration consisting of numbers and unit suffixes, such as "30s" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "s" (seconds), "m" (minutes), "h" (hours). Setting a timeout for a Delete operation is only applicable if changes are saved into state before the destroy operation occurs.
  • update (String) A string that can be parsed as a duration consisting of numbers and unit suffixes, such as "30s" or "2h45m". Valid time units are "s" (seconds), "m" (minutes), "h" (hours).

ImportImport

The resource can be imported by using their resource ID. For getting the resource ID you can use Yandex Cloud Web Console or YC CLI.

# terraform import yandex_compute_snapshot.<resource Name> <resource Id>
terraform import yandex_compute_snapshot.my_snapshot fd8hc**********o4qe2
