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

Example usageExample usage

//
// Create a new Compute Snapshot Schedule.
//
resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule" "vm_snap_sch1" {
  name = "my-name"

  schedule_policy {
    expression = "0 0 * * *"
  }

  snapshot_count = 1

  snapshot_spec {
    description = "snapshot-description"
    labels = {
      snapshot-label = "my-snapshot-label-value"
    }
  }

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

  disk_ids = ["test_disk_id", "another_test_disk_id"]
}
//
// Create a new Compute Snapshot Schedule with retention period.
//
resource "yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule" "vm_snap_sch2" {
  schedule_policy {
    expression = "0 0 * * *"
  }

  retention_period = "12h"

  snapshot_spec {
    description = "retention-snapshot"
  }

  disk_ids = ["test_disk_id", "another_test_disk_id"]
}

SchemaSchema

OptionalOptional

  • description (String) The resource description.
  • disk_ids (Set of String) IDs of the disk for snapshot schedule.
  • folder_id (String) The folder identifier that resource belongs to. If it is not provided, the default provider folder-id is used.
  • labels (Map of String) A set of key/value label pairs which assigned to resource.
  • name (String) The resource name.
  • retention_period (String) Time duration applied to snapshots created by this snapshot schedule. This is a signed sequence of decimal numbers, each with optional fraction and a unit suffix. Valid time units are ns, us (or µs), ms, s, m, h. Examples: 300ms, 1.5h or 2h45m.
  • schedule_policy (Block List, Max: 1) Schedule policy of the snapshot schedule. (see below for nested schema)
  • snapshot_count (Number) Maximum number of snapshots for every disk of the snapshot schedule.
  • snapshot_spec (Block List, Max: 1) Additional attributes for snapshots created by this snapshot schedule. (see below for nested schema)
  • timeouts (Block, Optional) (see below for nested schema)

Read-OnlyRead-Only

  • created_at (String) The creation timestamp of the resource.
  • id (String) The ID of this resource.
  • status (String) The status of the snapshot schedule.

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for schedule_policy

Optional:

  • expression (String) Cron expression to schedule snapshots (in cron format " * ****").
  • start_at (String) Time to start the snapshot schedule (in format RFC3339 2006-01-02T15:04:05Z07:00). If empty current time will be used. Unlike an expression that specifies regularity rules, the start_at parameter determines from what point these rules will be applied.

Nested Schema for Nested Schema for snapshot_spec

Optional:

  • description (String) Description to assign to snapshots created by this snapshot schedule.
  • labels (Map of String) A set of key/value label pairs to assign to snapshots created by this snapshot schedule.

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_schedule.<resource Name> <resource Id>
terraform import yandex_compute_snapshot_schedule.my_snapshot_schedule fd8hc**********o4qe2
