Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud VMware Engine V1 API class Google::Cloud::VmwareEngine::V1::UpdateExternalAddressRequest.
(::String) — Optional. A request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID
so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore
the request if it has already been completed. The server guarantees that a
request doesn't result in creation of duplicate commitments for at least 60
minutes.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the
request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID,
the server can check if the original operation with the same request ID was
received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients
from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.
The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is
not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

#update_mask
defupdate_mask()->::Google::Protobuf::FieldMask
Returns
(::Google::Protobuf::FieldMask) — Required. Field mask is used to specify the fields to be overwritten in the
ExternalAddress resource by the update.
The fields specified in the update_mask are relative to the resource, not
the full request. A field will be overwritten if it is in the mask. If the
user does not provide a mask then all fields will be overwritten.
