[Output Only] An optional description of this resource.
validDiskSize
string
[Output Only] An optional textual description of the valid disk size, such as "10GB-10TB".
deprecated
object
[Output Only] The deprecation status associated with this disk type.
deprecated.state
enum
The deprecation state of this resource. This can beACTIVE,DEPRECATED,OBSOLETE, orDELETED. Operations which communicate the end of life date for an image, can useACTIVE. Operations which create a new resource using aDEPRECATEDresource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which useOBSOLETEorDELETEDresources will be rejected and result in an error.
deprecated.replacement
string
The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.
deprecated.deprecated
string
An optionalRFC3339timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toDEPRECATED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
deprecated.obsolete
string
An optionalRFC3339timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toOBSOLETE. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
deprecated.deleted
string
An optionalRFC3339timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change toDELETED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
zone
string
[Output Only] URL of the zone where the disk type resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
selfLink
string
[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
[Output Only] Server-defined default disk size in GB.
region
string
[Output Only] URL of the region where the disk type resides. Only applicable for regional resources. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.
