Method: regionInstanceGroupManagers.patchPerInstanceConfigs

Inserts or patches per-instance configurations for the managed instance group. perInstanceConfig.name serves as a key used to distinguish whether to perform insert or patch.

HTTP request

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/instanceGroupManagers/{instanceGroupManager}/patchPerInstanceConfigs

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
region

string

Name of the region scoping this request, should conform to RFC1035.
instanceGroupManager

string

The name of the managed instance group. It should conform to RFC1035.

Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource instanceGroupManager:

  • compute.instanceGroupManagers.update

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

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).

Fields
perInstanceConfigs[].name

string

The name of a per-instance configuration and its corresponding instance. Serves as a merge key during regionInstanceGroupManagers.updatePerInstanceConfigs operations, that is, if a per-instance configuration with the same name exists then it will be updated, otherwise a new one will be created for the VM instance with the same name. An attempt to create a per-instance configconfiguration for a VM instance that either doesn't exist or is not part of the group will result in an error.
perInstanceConfigs[].preservedState.disks[]

map (key: string, value: object)

Preserved disks defined for this instance. This map is keyed with the device names of the disks.
perInstanceConfigs[].preservedState.disks[].source

string

The URL of the disk resource that is stateful and should be attached to the VM instance.
perInstanceConfigs[].preservedState.disks[].mode

enum

The mode in which to attach this disk, either READ_WRITE or READ_ONLY. If not specified, the default is to attach the disk in READ_WRITE mode.
perInstanceConfigs[].preservedState.disks[].autoDelete

enum

These stateful disks will never be deleted during autohealing, update, instance recreate operations. This flag is used to configure if the disk should be deleted after it is no longer used by the group, e.g. when the given instance or the whole MIG is deleted. Note: disks attached in READ_ONLY mode cannot be auto-deleted.

Authorization requires one or more of the following IAM permissions on the specified resource internalIPs:

  • compute.addresses.createInternal
  • compute.addresses.deleteInternal
  • compute.addresses.get
  • compute.addresses.useInternal
perInstanceConfigs[].preservedState.internalIPs[].autoDelete

perInstanceConfigs[].status

enum

The status of applying this per-instance configuration on the corresponding managed instance.
perInstanceConfigs[].fingerprint

string (bytes format)

Fingerprint of this per-instance config. This field can be used in optimistic locking. It is ignored when inserting a per-instance config. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to update an existing per-instance configuration or the field needs to be unset.

A base64-encoded string.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

  • For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
  • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
  • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

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

error.errors[].message

string

[Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
error.errors[].errorDetails[]

object

[Output Only] An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.

string

The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of [A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9], which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain

string

The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com".
