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"]
}

Arguments & Attributes ReferenceArguments & Attributes Reference

  • created_at (Read-Only) (String). The creation timestamp of the resource.
  • 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.
  • id (String).
  • 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.
  • snapshot_count (Number). Maximum number of snapshots for every disk of the snapshot schedule.
  • status (Read-Only) (String). The status of the snapshot schedule.
  • schedule_policy [Block]. Schedule policy of the snapshot schedule.
    • 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.
  • snapshot_spec [Block]. Additional attributes for snapshots created by this snapshot schedule.
    • 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.

ImportImport

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

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