Class Instance (1.2.1)

Instance(
    instance_id, client, display_name=None, instance_type=None, labels=None, _state=None
)

Representation of a Google Cloud Bigtable Instance.

We can use an Instance to:

reload itself
create itself
update itself
delete itself

Note: For now, we leave out the default_storage_type (an enum) which if not sent will end up as :data:.data_v2_pb2.STORAGE_SSD.

Parameters

Name	Description
`instance_id`	`str` The ID of the instance.
`client`	`Client` The client that owns the instance. Provides authorization and a project ID.
`display_name`	`str` (Optional) The display name for the instance in the Cloud Console UI. (Must be between 4 and 30 characters.) If this value is not set in the constructor, will fall back to the instance ID.
`instance_type`	`int` (Optional) The type of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.PRODUCTION`. :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.DEVELOPMENT`, Defaults to :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.Type.UNSPECIFIED`.
`labels`	`dict` (Optional) Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer's organizational needs and deployment strategies. They can be used to filter resources and aggregate metrics. Label keys must be between 1 and 63 characters long. Maximum 64 labels can be associated with a given resource. Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long. Keys and values must both be under 128 bytes.
`_state`	`int` (`OutputOnly`) The current state of the instance. Possible values are represented by the following constants: :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.STATE_NOT_KNOWN`. :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.READY`. :data:`google.cloud.bigtable.enums.Instance.State.CREATING`.
