    view

    enum

    View of the instance.

    Request body

    The request body must be empty.

    Response body

    Represents an Instance resource.

    An instance is a virtual machine that is hosted on Google Cloud Platform. For more information, read Virtual Machine Instances .

    If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:

    Fields
    kind

    string

    [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#instance for instances.

    id

    string ( uint64 format)

    [Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

    creationTimestamp

    string

    [Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

    name

    string

    The name of the resource, provided by the client when initially creating the resource. The resource name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035 . Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.

    description

    string

    An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

    tags

    object

    Tags to apply to this instance. Tags are used to identify valid sources or targets for network firewalls and are specified by the client during instance creation. The tags can be later modified by the setTags method. Each tag within the list must comply with RFC1035 . Multiple tags can be specified via the 'tags.items' field.

    tags.items[]

    string

    An array of tags. Each tag must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035 .

    tags.fingerprint

    string ( bytes format)

    Specifies a fingerprint for this request, which is essentially a hash of the tags' contents and used for optimistic locking. The fingerprint is initially generated by Compute Engine and changes after every request to modify or update tags. You must always provide an up-to-date fingerprint hash in order to update or change tags.

    To see the latest fingerprint, make get() request to the instance.

    A base64-encoded string.

    machineType

    string

    Full or partial URL of the machine type resource to use for this instance, in the format: zones/ zone /machineTypes/ machine-type . This is provided by the client when the instance is created. For example, the following is a valid partial url to a predefined machine type :

    zones/us-central1-f/machineTypes/n1-standard-1

    To create a custom machine type , provide a URL to a machine type in the following format, where CPUS is 1 or an even number up to 32 (2, 4, 6, ... 24, etc), and MEMORY is the total memory for this instance. Memory must be a multiple of 256 MB and must be supplied in MB (e.g. 5 GB of memory is 5120 MB):

    zones/ zone /machineTypes/custom- CPUS - MEMORY

    For example: zones/us-central1-f/machineTypes/custom-4-5120 For a full list of restrictions, read the Specifications for custom machine types.

    status

    enum

    [Output Only] The status of the instance. One of the following values: PROVISIONING , STAGING , RUNNING , STOPPING , SUSPENDING , SUSPENDED , REPAIRING , and TERMINATED . For more information about the status of the instance, see Instance life cycle .

    statusMessage

    string

    [Output Only] An optional, human-readable explanation of the status.

    zone

    string

    [Output Only] URL of the zone where the instance resides. You must specify this field as part of the HTTP request URL. It is not settable as a field in the request body.

    canIpForward

    boolean

    Allows this instance to send and receive packets with non-matching destination or source IPs. This is required if you plan to use this instance to forward routes. For more information, see Enabling IP Forwarding .

    networkInterfaces[]

    object

    An array of network configurations for this instance. These specify how interfaces are configured to interact with other network services, such as connecting to the internet. Multiple interfaces are supported per instance.

    networkInterfaces[].kind

    string

    [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#networkInterface for network interfaces.

    networkInterfaces[].network

    string

    URL of the VPC network resource for this instance. When creating an instance, if neither the network nor the subnetwork is specified, the default network global/networks/default is used. If the selected project doesn't have the default network, you must specify a network or subnet. If the network is not specified but the subnetwork is specified, the network is inferred.

    If you specify this property, you can specify the network as a full or partial URL. For example, the following are all valid URLs:

    networkInterfaces[].subnetwork

    string

    The URL of the Subnetwork resource for this instance. If the network resource is in legacy mode, do not specify this field. If the network is in auto subnet mode, specifying the subnetwork is optional. If the network is in custom subnet mode, specifying the subnetwork is required. If you specify this field, you can specify the subnetwork as a full or partial URL. For example, the following are all valid URLs:

    networkInterfaces[].networkIP

    string

    An IPv4 internal IP address to assign to the instance for this network interface. If not specified by the user, an unused internal IP is assigned by the system.

    networkInterfaces[].ipv6Address

    string

    An IPv6 internal network address for this network interface. To use a static internal IP address, it must be unused and in the same region as the instance's zone. If not specified, Google Cloud will automatically assign an internal IPv6 address from the instance's subnetwork.

    networkInterfaces[].internalIpv6PrefixLength

    integer

    The prefix length of the primary internal IPv6 range.

    networkInterfaces[].name

    string

    [Output Only] The name of the network interface, which is generated by the server. For a VM, the network interface uses the nicN naming format. Where N is a value between 0 and 7 . The default interface value is nic0 .

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[]

    object

    An array of configurations for this interface. Currently, only one access config, ONE_TO_ONE_NAT , is supported. If there are no accessConfigs specified, then this instance will have no external internet access.

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].kind

    string

    [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#accessConfig for access configs.

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].type

    enum

    The type of configuration. In accessConfigs (IPv4), the default and only option is ONE_TO_ONE_NAT . In ipv6AccessConfigs , the default and only option is DIRECT_IPV6 .

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].name

    string

    The name of this access configuration. In accessConfigs (IPv4), the default and recommended name is External NAT , but you can use any arbitrary string, such as My external IP or Network Access . In ipv6AccessConfigs , the recommend name is External IPv6 .

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].natIP

    string

    Applies to accessConfigs (IPv4) only. An external IP address associated with this instance. Specify an unused static external IP address available to the project or leave this field undefined to use an IP from a shared ephemeral IP address pool. If you specify a static external IP address, it must live in the same region as the zone of the instance.

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].externalIpv6

    string

    Applies to ipv6AccessConfigs only. The first IPv6 address of the external IPv6 range associated with this instance, prefix length is stored in externalIpv6PrefixLength in ipv6AccessConfig . To use a static external IP address, it must be unused and in the same region as the instance's zone. If not specified, Google Cloud will automatically assign an external IPv6 address from the instance's subnetwork.

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].externalIpv6PrefixLength

    integer

    Applies to ipv6AccessConfigs only. The prefix length of the external IPv6 range.

    networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].setPublicPtr

    boolean

    Specifies whether a public DNS 'PTR' record should be created to map the external IP address of the instance to a DNS domain name.
