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"
  }
}

Arguments & Attributes ReferenceArguments & Attributes Reference

  • created_at (Read-Only) (String). The creation timestamp of the resource.
  • description (String). The resource description.
  • disk_size (Read-Only) (Number). Size of the disk when the snapshot was created, specified in GB.
  • folder_id (String). The folder identifier that resource belongs to. If it is not provided, the default provider folder-id is used.
  • id (String).
  • labels (Map Of String). A set of key/value label pairs which assigned to resource.
