[Output Only] The status of resource policy creation. |
resourceStatus |
[Output Only] The system status of the resource policy. |
resourceStatus.instanceSchedulePolicy |
[Output Only] Specifies a set of output values reffering to the instanceSchedulePolicy system status. This field should have the same name as corresponding policy field. |
resourceStatus.instanceSchedulePolicy.nextRunStartTime |
[Output Only] The next time the schedule is planned to run. The actual time might be slightly different. The timestamp is an RFC3339 string. |

[Output Only] The last time the schedule successfully ran. The timestamp is an RFC3339 string. |
Union field
| |
snapshotSchedulePolicy |
Resource policy for persistent disks for creating snapshots. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule |

snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.hourlySchedule |
|
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.hourlySchedule.hoursInCycle |
Defines a schedule with units measured in hours. The value determines how many hours pass between the start of each cycle. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.hourlySchedule.startTime |
Time within the window to start the operations. It must be in format "HH:MM", where HH : [00-23] and MM : [00-00] GMT. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.hourlySchedule.duration |
[Output only] Duration of the time window, automatically chosen to be smallest possible in the given scenario. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.dailySchedule |
|
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.dailySchedule.daysInCycle |
Defines a schedule with units measured in days. The value determines how many days pass between the start of each cycle. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.dailySchedule.startTime |
Start time of the window. This must be in UTC format that resolves to one of |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.dailySchedule.duration |
[Output only] A predetermined duration for the window, automatically chosen to be the smallest possible in the given scenario. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.weeklySchedule |
|
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.weeklySchedule.dayOfWeeks[] |
Up to 7 intervals/windows, one for each day of the week. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.weeklySchedule.dayOfWeeks[].day |
Defines a schedule that runs on specific days of the week. Specify one or more days. The following options are available: MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.weeklySchedule.dayOfWeeks[].startTime |
Time within the window to start the operations. It must be in format "HH:MM", where HH : [00-23] and MM : [00-00] GMT. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.schedule.weeklySchedule.dayOfWeeks[].duration |
[Output only] Duration of the time window, automatically chosen to be smallest possible in the given scenario. |

Retention policy applied to snapshots created by this resource policy. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.retentionPolicy.maxRetentionDays |
Maximum age of the snapshot that is allowed to be kept. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.retentionPolicy.onSourceDiskDelete |
Specifies the behavior to apply to scheduled snapshots when the source disk is deleted. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.snapshotProperties |
Properties with which snapshots are created such as labels, encryption keys. |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.snapshotProperties.labels |
Labels to apply to scheduled snapshots. These can be later modified by the |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.snapshotProperties.storageLocations[] |
Cloud Storage bucket storage location of the auto snapshot (regional or multi-regional). |
snapshotSchedulePolicy.snapshotProperties.guestFlush |
Indication to perform a 'guest aware' snapshot. |

snapshotSchedulePolicy.snapshotProperties.region |
Region where the snapshot is scoped to. |
groupPlacementPolicy |
Resource policy for instances for placement configuration. |
groupPlacementPolicy.vmCount |
Number of VMs in this placement group. Google does not recommend that you use this field unless you use a compact policy and you want your policy to work only if it contains this exact number of VMs. |
groupPlacementPolicy.availabilityDomainCount |

Specifies the shape of the TPU slice |
groupPlacementPolicy.maxDistance |
Specifies the number of max logical switches. |
groupPlacementPolicy.sliceCount |
Specifies the number of slices in a multislice workload. |
groupPlacementPolicy.gpuTopology |
Specifies the shape of the GPU slice, in slice based GPU families eg. A4X. |

Specifies the connection mode for the accelerator topology. If not specified, the default is AUTO_CONNECT. |
instanceSchedulePolicy |
Resource policy for scheduling instance operations. |
instanceSchedulePolicy.vmStartSchedule |
Specifies the schedule for starting instances. |
