Values: UNDEFINED_INSTANTIATE_FROM (0): A value indicating that the enum field is not set. ATTACH_READ_ONLY (513775419): Attach the existing disk in read-only mode. The request will fail if the disk was attached in read-write mode on the source instance. Applicable to: read-only disks. BLANK (63281460): Create a blank disk. The disk will be created unformatted. Applicable to: additional read-write disks, local SSDs. CUSTOM_IMAGE (196311789): Use the custom image specified in the custom_image field. Applicable to: boot disk, additional read-write disks. DEFAULT (115302945): Use the default instantiation option for the corresponding type of disk. For boot disk and any other R/W disks, new custom images will be created from each disk. For read-only disks, they will be attached in read-only mode. Local SSD disks will be created as blank volumes. DO_NOT_INCLUDE (104218952): Do not include the disk in the instance template. Applicable to: additional read-write disks, local SSDs, read-only disks. SOURCE_IMAGE (62631959): Use the same source image used for creation of the source instance's corresponding disk. The request will fail if the source VM's disk was created from a snapshot. Applicable to: boot disk, additional read-write disks. SOURCE_IMAGE_FAMILY (76850316): Use the same source image family used for creation of the source instance's corresponding disk. The request will fail if the source image of the source disk does not belong to any image family. Applicable to: boot disk, additional read-write disks.
