Field |
Description |
folderId |
string Required field. ID of the folder to create an image in. |
name |
string Name of the image. |
description |
string Description of the image. |
labels |
object (map<string, string>) Resource labels as |
family |
string The name of the image family to which this image belongs. For more information, see Image family. To get an information about the most recent image from a family, use a ImageService.GetLatestByFamily request. |
minDiskSize |
string (int64) Minimum size of the disk that will be created from this image. |
productIds[] |
string License IDs that indicate which licenses are attached to this resource. The correct license ID is generated by the platform. IDs are inherited by new resources created from this resource. If you know the license IDs, specify them when you create the image. |
imageId |
string ID of the source image to create the new image from. Includes only one of the fields |
diskId |
string ID of the disk to create the image from. Includes only one of the fields |
snapshotId |
string ID of the snapshot to create the image from. Includes only one of the fields |
uri |
string URI of the source image to create the new image from. Includes only one of the fields |
os |
Operating system that is contained in the image. If not specified and you used the |
pooled |
boolean When true, an image pool will be created for fast creation disks from the image. |
hardwareGeneration |
Specify the overrides to hardware_generation of a source disk, image or snapshot, |
Os
Field |
Description |
type |
enum (Type) Operating system type. The default is This field is used to correctly emulate a vCPU and calculate the cost of using an instance.
|
HardwareGeneration
A set of features, specific to a particular Compute hardware generation.
They are not necessary supported by every host OS or distro, thus they are fixed to an image
and are applied to all instances created with it as their boot disk image.
These features significantly determine how the instance is created, thus cannot be changed after the fact.
Field |
Description |
legacyFeatures |
Includes only one of the fields |
generation2Features |
object Includes only one of the fields |
LegacyHardwareFeatures
A first hardware generation, by default compatible with all legacy images.
Allows switching to PCI_TOPOLOGY_V2 and back.
Field |
Description |
pciTopology |
enum (PCITopology)
|
