Path parameters

projectstring required

Project ID for this request.

zonestring required

The name of the zone for this request.

Query parameters

requestIdstring

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

Request body

countstring int64

The maximum number of instances to create.

minCountstring int64

The minimum number of instances to create. If no min_count is specified then count is used as the default value. Ifmin_count instances cannot be created, then no instances will be created and instances already created will be deleted.

namePatternstring

The string pattern used for the names of the VMs. Either name_pattern or per_instance_properties must be set. The pattern must contain one continuous sequence of placeholder hash characters (#) with each character corresponding to one digit of the generated instance name. Example: a name_pattern of inst-#### generates instance names such asinst-0001 and inst-0002. If existing instances in the same project and zone have names that match the name pattern then the generated instance numbers start after the biggest existing number. For example, if there exists an instance with nameinst-0050, then instance names generated using the patterninst-#### begin with inst-0051. The name pattern placeholder #...# can contain up to 18 characters.

perInstancePropertiesobject

Per-instance properties to be set on individual instances. Keys of this map specify requested instance names. Can be empty if name_pattern is used.

sourceInstanceTemplatestring

Specifies the instance template from which to create instances. You may combine sourceInstanceTemplate withinstanceProperties to override specific values from an existing instance template. Bulk API follows the semantics of JSON Merge Patch described by RFC 7396.

It can be a full or partial URL. For example, the following are all valid URLs to an instance template:

  - https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/global/instanceTemplates/instanceTemplate
  - projects/project/global/instanceTemplates/instanceTemplate
  - global/instanceTemplates/instanceTemplate

This field is optional.

Response

Successful response

clientOperationIdstring

[Output Only] The value of requestId if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.

creationTimestampstring

[Deprecated] This field is deprecated.

descriptionstring

[Output Only] A textual description of the operation, which is set when the operation is created.

endTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

httpErrorMessagestring

[Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as NOT FOUND.

httpErrorStatusCodeinteger

[Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error status code that was returned. For example, a 404 means the resource was not found.

idstring uint64

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

insertTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was requested. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

kindstring

Output only. [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#operation for Operation resources.

namestring

[Output Only] Name of the operation.

operationGroupIdstring

Output only. [Output Only] An ID that represents a group of operations, such as when a group of operations results from a bulkInsert API request.

operationTypestring

[Output Only] The type of operation, such as insert, update, or delete, and so on.

progressinteger

[Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.

regionstring

[Output Only] The URL of the region where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing regional operations.

selfLinkstring

[Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.

startTimestring

[Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is inRFC3339 text format.

status'DONE' | 'PENDING' | 'RUNNING'

[Output Only] The status of the operation, which can be one of the following: PENDING, RUNNING, or DONE.

statusMessagestring

[Output Only] An optional textual description of the current status of the operation.

targetIdstring uint64

[Output Only] The unique target ID, which identifies a specific incarnation of the target resource.

targetLinkstring

[Output Only] The URL of the resource that the operation modifies. For operations related to creating a snapshot, this points to the disk that the snapshot was created from.

userstring

[Output Only] User who requested the operation, for example: user@example.com or alice_smith_identifier (global/workforcePools/example-com-us-employees).
