Supported resource types

Deployment Manager uses the underlying APIs of each Google Cloud service to deploy your resources. For example, to create Compute Engine virtual machine instances, Deployment Manager makes a call to the Compute Engine API to create the instance, and then adds it to your deployment.

Note: If you want to create more types of resources in your deployments, consider using Google Cloud type providers (beta), which adds support for more Google Cloud resources. For a list of supported type providers, see Supported GCP type providers.

Resources for project creation

If you are creating projects using Deployment Manager, you can use the following virtual resource types to enable APIs in your project, or change the billing information for your project.

Resource Type	Description	Example	Reference
deploymentmanager.v2.virtual.enableService	Enable a service API. You must create a virtual resource for every API that you want to enable.	Example in GitHub	Documentation
deploymentmanager.v2.virtual.projectBillingInfo	Modify the billing information for the project.	Example in GitHub	Documentation

APIs for supported resources

The table below is a list of resource types that you can create in your deployments. To determine the properties you can set in Deployment Manager for a particular API, you must use the respective API's documentation as a guide.

For steps to use an API's resource representation to create your configuration, see Declaring resource properties.

For examples of deployments that use these resources, see the Deployment Manager GitHub Repository.

Note: Some of the following types have names which are similar to, but different from, the names of their associated API collections. If you use the API collection name instead of the type name provided by Deployment Manager (for example, compute.v1.addresses instead of compute.v1.address), you might encounter unexpected behavior from your deployments, so be careful to ensure that you use type names as defined by Deployment Manager.

For a full list of supported resource types, including resources that are in alpha, run the types list command in gcloud:
