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.
  • timeouts [Block].
    • create (String).
    • delete (String).
    • update (String).

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.
