Each deployment has a corresponding manifest. A manifest is a read-only property that describes all the resources in your deployment and is automatically created with each new deployment. Manifests are not modifiable after they have been created. A manifest is not the same as a configuration file, but is created based on the configuration file.
Before you begin
- If you want to use the command-line examples in this guide, install the `gcloud` command-line tool.
- If you want to use the API examples in this guide, set up API access.
- Understand configurations.
- Understand templates.
- Understand how to create a configuration.
Manifest structure
A manifest provides three views of a deployment:
- The initial configuration
- The fully-evaluated configuration after all templates and imports have been expanded
- The layout of the deployment, which describes all the resources for the deployment in a hierarchical structure.
Original configuration
The original configuration is the configuration you provided to the deployment,
before any template expansion. The initial configuration is indicated by the
config
property:
config: |
imports:
- path: vm-template.jinja
- path: network-template.jinja
- path: firewall-template.jinja
- path: compute-engine-template.jinja
resources:
- name: compute-engine-setup
type: compute-engine-template.jinja
Expanded configuration
The expanded configuration is a full description of your deployment, including all resources and their properties, after processing all your templates. This is the final state of your configuration.
The expanded configuration portion of your manifest is indicated by the
expandedConfig
property:
expandedConfig: | resources: - name: datadisk-example-config-with-templates properties: sizeGb: 100 type: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/myproject/zones/us-central1-a/diskTypes/pd-standard zone: us-central1-a type: compute.v1.disk - name: vm-example-config-with-templates properties: disks: - autoDelete: true boot: true deviceName: boot initializeParams: diskName: disk-example-config-with-templates sourceImage: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-7-wheezy-v20140619 type: PERSISTENT - autoDelete: true deviceName: datadisk-example-config-with-templates source: $(ref.datadisk-example-config-with-templates.selfLink) type: PERSISTENT machineType: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/myproject/zones/us-central1-a/machineTypes/f1-micro metadata: items: - key: startup-script value: | #!/bin/bash python -m http.server 8080 networkInterfaces: - accessConfigs: - name: External NAT type: ONE_TO_ONE_NAT network: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/myproject/global/networks/default zone: us-central1-a type: compute.v1.instance
Imported templates
The imports
property in your manifest shows the content of any templates
you imported for this configuration. The imports section of your manifest
is indicated by the imports
section:
imports: - content: | resources: - name: {{ env["name"] }} type: compute.v1.instance properties: disks: - autoDelete: true type: PERSISTENT boot: true deviceName: boot initializeParams: sourceImage: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-7-wheezy-v20140619 machineType: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{{ env["project"] }}/zones/{{ properties["zone"] }}/machineTypes/{{ properties["machineType"] }} networkInterfaces: - network: $(ref.{{ properties["network"] }}.selfLink) accessConfigs: - name: External NAT type: ONE_TO_ONE_NAT zone: {{ properties["zone"] }} metadata: items: - key: startup-script value: | #!/bin/bash INSTANCE=$(curl http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/hostname -H "Metadata-Flavor: Google") echo "<html><header><title>Hello from Deployment Manager!</title></header> <body><h2>Hello from $INSTANCE</h2> <p>Deployment Manager bids you good day!</p> </body> </html>" > index.html python -m http.server 80 name: vm-template.jinja - content: | resources: - name: {{ env["name"] }} type: compute.v1.network properties: IPv4Range: 10.0.0.1/16 name: network-template.jinja - content: | resources: - name: {{ env["name"]}} type: compute.v1.firewall properties: network: $(ref.{{ properties["network"] }}.selfLink) sourceRanges: ["0.0.0.0/0"] allowed: - IPProtocol: TCP ports: ["80"] name: firewall-template.jinja - content: | {% set NETWORK_NAME = "a-new-network" %} resources: - name: the-first-vm type: vm-template.jinja properties: machineType: f1-micro zone: us-central1-f network: {{ NETWORK_NAME }} - name: the-second-vm type: vm-template.jinja properties: machineType: g1-small zone: us-central1-f network: {{ NETWORK_NAME }} - name: {{ NETWORK_NAME }} type: network-template.jinja - name: {{ NETWORK_NAME }}-firewall type: firewall-template.jinja properties: network: {{ NETWORK_NAME }} name: compute-engine-template.jinja
Layout
The layout is an outline of your deployment and its resources, and shows the resource names and types.
Use the layout to visualize the structure of your deployment, view template properties that were set during the initial deployment, and other information about your configuration before it was expanded.
In your manifest, you can see the layout in the layout
property:
layout: |
resources:
- name: compute-engine-setup
resources:
- name: the-first-vm
properties:
machineType: f1-micro
network: a-new-network

Identify a manifest
You can identify a manifest by its unique ID, in the format
manifest-TIMESTAMP
. For example:
manifest-1436393348324
Usually, you can get the manifest ID by getting information about the corresponding deployment, or by listing manifests for a deployment.
gcloud
With the Google Cloud CLI, use the deployments describe
sub-command:
gcloud deployment-manager deployments describe example-deployment
gcloud
returns a response similar to the following:
id: '7428522736135856060' manifest: https://www.googleapis.com/deploymentmanager/v2beta1/projects/myproject/global/deployments/example-deployment/manifests/manifest-1436393348324 name: example-deployment resources: NAME TYPE ID STATE ERRORS ...
API
In the API, make a GET
request, providing the deployment name in the
request:
GET https://www.googleapis.com/deploymentmanager/v2beta1/projects/myproject/global/deployments/example-deployment-with-config
You should receive a response similar to the following:
{ "id": "5899501332770090517", "creationTimestamp": "2015-03-30T15:40:58.809-07:00", "name": "example-deployment-with-config", "fingerprint": "", "manifest": "https://www.googleapis.com/deploymentmanager/v2/projects/myproject/global/deployments/example-deployment-with-config/manifests/manifest-1427755258810-2b3498d9-530b-4f8e-b014-0342d3c9c66b", "state": "DEPLOYED" }
View a manifest
You can view a manifest by making a get()
request to a Manifest
resource or through the Google Cloud console or gcloud
.
Console
To view a manifest of a deployment in the Google Cloud console:
- Go to the Deployments page in the Google Cloud console.
- From the list, click the deployment that you want to view.
- In the deployment's details, click Overview.
gcloud
With the Google Cloud CLI, view the full manifest using the
manifests describe
command. The command lists both the full
manifest and the layout:
gcloud deployment-manager manifests describe manifest-1436393348324 \
--deployment example-config-with-templates
gcloud
returns a response similar to the following:
