Size of the disk in GB.

type

string

URL of the disk type resource.

status

enum (Status)

The status of the disk.

lastAttachTimestamp

string (Timestamp format)

Last attach timestamp of the disk.

Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits. Offsets other than "Z" are also accepted. Examples:"2014-10-02T15:01:23Z","2014-10-02T15:01:23.045123456Z" or"2014-10-02T15:01:23+05:30".

JSON representation
{"seconds":string,"nanos":integer}
Fields
seconds

string (int64 format)

Represents seconds of UTC time since Unix epoch 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Must be between -62135596800 and 253402300799 inclusive (which corresponds to 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59Z).

nanos

integer

Non-negative fractions of a second at nanosecond resolution. This field is the nanosecond portion of the duration, not an alternative to seconds. Negative second values with fractions must still have non-negative nanos values that count forward in time. Must be between 0 and 999,999,999 inclusive.
