Functions

detectGCPResidency()

export declare function detectGCPResidency(): boolean;

Determines if the process is running on Google Cloud Platform.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	{boolean} `true` if the process is running on GCP, `false` otherwise.

getGCPResidency()

export declare function getGCPResidency(): boolean;

Detects GCP Residency. Caches results to reduce costs for subsequent calls.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`

instance(options)

export declare function instance

Obtain metadata for the current GCE instance

Parameter
Name	Description
`options`	`string \| Options`

Returns
Type	Description
`Promise<T>`

Type Parameter
Type	Description
`T`

isAvailable()

export declare function isAvailable(): Promise

Determine if the metadata server is currently available.

Returns
Type	Description
`Promise<boolean>`

isGoogleCloudServerless()

export declare function isGoogleCloudServerless(): boolean;

Determines if the process is running on a Google Cloud Serverless environment (Cloud Run or Cloud Functions instance).

Uses the: - . - .

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	{boolean} `true` if the process is running on GCP serverless, `false` otherwise.

isGoogleComputeEngine()

export declare function isGoogleComputeEngine(): boolean;

Determines if the process is running on a Google Compute Engine instance.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	{boolean} `true` if the process is running on GCE, `false` otherwise.

isGoogleComputeEngineLinux()

export declare function isGoogleComputeEngineLinux(): boolean;

Determines if the process is running on a Linux Google Compute Engine instance.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	{boolean} `true` if the process is running on Linux GCE, `false` otherwise.

isGoogleComputeEngineMACAddress()

export declare function isGoogleComputeEngineMACAddress(): boolean;

Determines if the process is running on a Google Compute Engine instance with a known MAC address.

Returns
Type	Description
`boolean`	{boolean} `true` if the process is running on GCE (as determined by MAC address), `false` otherwise.

project(options)

export declare function project

Obtain metadata for the current GCP Project.

Parameter
Name	Description
`options`	`string \| Options`

Returns
Type	Description
`Promise<T>`

Type Parameter
Type	Description
`T`

requestTimeout()

export declare function requestTimeout(): number;

Obtain the timeout for requests to the metadata server.

In certain environments and conditions requests can take longer than the default timeout to complete. This function will determine the appropriate timeout based on the environment.

Returns
Type	Description
`number`	{number} a request timeout duration in milliseconds.

resetIsAvailableCache()

export declare function resetIsAvailableCache(): void;

reset the memoized isAvailable() lookup.

Returns
Type	Description
`void`

setGCPResidency(value)

export declare function setGCPResidency(value?: boolean | null): void;

Sets the detected GCP Residency. Useful for forcing metadata server detection behavior.

Set null to autodetect the environment (default behavior).

Parameter
Name	Description
`value`	`boolean \| null`

Returns
Type	Description
`void`
