Path parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`project`	`string` Project ID for this request.
`region`	`string` The name of the region for this request.
`instanceTemplate`	`string` The name of the instance template.

project

string

Project ID for this request.

region

string

The name of the region for this request.

instanceTemplate

string

The name of the instance template.

Query parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`view`	`enum` View of the instance template.

view

enum

View of the instance template.

Request body

The request body must be empty.

Response body

Represents an Instance Template resource.

Google Compute Engine has two Instance Template resources:

You can reuse a global instance template in different regions whereas you can use a regional instance template in a specified region only. If you want to reduce cross-region dependency or achieve data residency, use a regional instance template.

To create VMs, managed instance groups, and reservations, you can use either global or regional instance templates.

For more information, read Instance Templates.

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

Fields
`kind`	`string` [Output Only] The resource type, which is always `compute#instanceTemplate` for instance templates.
`id`	`string (uint64 format)` [Output Only] A unique identifier for this instance template. The server defines this identifier.
`creationTimestamp`	`string` [Output Only] The creation timestamp for this instance template in RFC3339 text format.
`name`	`string` Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The 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.
`properties`	`object` The instance properties for this instance template.
`properties.description`	`string` An optional text description for the instances that are created from these properties.
`properties.tags`	`object` A list of tags to apply to the instances that are created from these properties. The tags identify valid sources or targets for network firewalls. The setTags method can modify this list of tags. Each tag within the list must comply with RFC1035.
`properties.tags.items[]`	`string` An array of tags. Each tag must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.
`properties.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.
`properties.resourceManagerTags`	`map (key: string, value: string)` Resource manager tags to be bound to the instance. Tag keys and values have the same definition as resource manager tags. Keys must be in the format `tagKeys/{tag_key_id}`, and values are in the format `tagValues/456`. The field is ignored (both PUT & PATCH) when empty.
`properties.machineType`	`string` The machine type to use for instances that are created from these properties. This field only accepts a machine type name, for example `n2-standard-4`. If you use the machine type full or partial URL, for example `projects/my-l7ilb-project/zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/n2-standard-4`, the request will result in an `INTERNAL_ERROR`.
`properties.canIpForward`	`boolean` Enables instances created based on these properties to send packets with source IP addresses other than their own and receive packets with destination IP addresses other than their own. If these instances will be used as an IP gateway or it will be set as the next-hop in a Route resource, specify `true`. If unsure, leave this set to `false`. See the Enable IP forwarding documentation for more information.
`properties.networkInterfaces[]`	`object` An array of network access configurations for this interface.
`properties.networkInterfaces[].kind`	`string` [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always `compute#networkInterface` for network interfaces.
`properties.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: `https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/global/networks/network` `projects/project/global/networks/network` `global/networks/default`
`properties.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: `https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/project/regions/region/subnetworks/subnetwork` `regions/region/subnetworks/subnetwork`
`properties.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.
`properties.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.
`properties.networkInterfaces[].internalIpv6PrefixLength`	`integer` The prefix length of the primary internal IPv6 range.
`properties.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`.
`properties.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.
`properties.networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].kind`	`string` [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always `compute#accessConfig` for access configs.
`properties.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`.
`properties.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`.
`properties.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.
`properties.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.
`properties.networkInterfaces[].accessConfigs[].externalIpv6PrefixLength`	`integer` Applies to `ipv6AccessConfigs` only. The prefix length of the external IPv6 range.
`properties.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.
