Resource: InstanceConfig

A possible configuration for a Cloud Spanner instance. Configurations define the geographic placement of nodes and their replication.

Fields
name

string

A unique identifier for the instance configuration. Values are of the form projects/<project>/instanceConfigs/[a-z][-a-z0-9]*.

User instance configuration must start with custom-.

displayName

string

The name of this instance configuration as it appears in UIs.

configType

enum (Type)

Output only. Whether this instance configuration is a Google-managed or user-managed configuration.

replicas[]

object (ReplicaInfo)

The geographic placement of nodes in this instance configuration and their replication properties.

To create user-managed configurations, input replicas must include all replicas in replicas of the baseConfig and include one or more replicas in the optionalReplicas of the baseConfig.

optionalReplicas[]

object (ReplicaInfo)

Output only. The available optional replicas to choose from for user-managed configurations. Populated for Google-managed configurations.

baseConfig

string

Base configuration name, e.g. projects//instanceConfigs/nam3, based on which this configuration is created. Only set for user-managed configurations. baseConfig must refer to a configuration of type GOOGLE_MANAGED in the same project as this configuration.

labels

map (key: string, value: string)

Cloud Labels are a flexible and lightweight mechanism for organizing cloud resources into groups that reflect a customer's organizational needs and deployment strategies. Cloud Labels can be used to filter collections of resources. They can be used to control how resource metrics are aggregated. And they can be used as arguments to policy management rules (e.g. route, firewall, load balancing, etc.).

  • Label keys must be between 1 and 63 characters long and must conform to the following regular expression: [a-z][a-z0-9_-]{0,62}.
  • Label values must be between 0 and 63 characters long and must conform to the regular expression [a-z0-9_-]{0,63}.
  • No more than 64 labels can be associated with a given resource.

See https://goo.gl/xmQnxf for more information on and examples of labels.

If you plan to use labels in your own code, please note that additional characters may be allowed in the future. Therefore, you are advised to use an internal label representation, such as JSON, which doesn't rely upon specific characters being disallowed. For example, representing labels as the string: name + "_" + value would prove problematic if we were to allow "_" in a future release.

etag

string

etag is used for optimistic concurrency control as a way to help prevent simultaneous updates of a instance configuration from overwriting each other. It is strongly suggested that systems make use of the etag in the read-modify-write cycle to perform instance configuration updates in order to avoid race conditions: An etag is returned in the response which contains instance configurations, and systems are expected to put that etag in the request to update instance configuration to ensure that their change is applied to the same version of the instance configuration. If no etag is provided in the call to update the instance configuration, then the existing instance configuration is overwritten blindly.

leaderOptions[]

string

Allowed values of the "defaultLeader" schema option for databases in instances that use this instance configuration.

reconciling

boolean

Output only. If true, the instance configuration is being created or updated. If false, there are no ongoing operations for the instance configuration.

state

enum (State)

Output only. The current instance configuration state. Applicable only for USER_MANAGED configurations.

freeInstanceAvailability

enum (FreeInstanceAvailability)

Output only. Describes whether free instances are available to be created in this instance configuration.

quorumType

enum (QuorumType)

Output only. The QuorumType of the instance configuration.

storageLimitPerProcessingUnit

string (int64 format)

Output only. The storage limit in bytes per processing unit.

Type

The type of this configuration.

Enums
TYPE_UNSPECIFIED Unspecified.
GOOGLE_MANAGED Google-managed configuration.
USER_MANAGED User-managed configuration.

ReplicaInfo

JSON representation
{
  "location": string,
  "type": enum (ReplicaType),
  "defaultLeaderLocation": boolean
}
Fields
location

string

The location of the serving resources, e.g., "us-central1".

type

enum (ReplicaType)

The type of replica.

defaultLeaderLocation

boolean

If true, this location is designated as the default leader location where leader replicas are placed. See the region types documentation for more details.

ReplicaType

Indicates the type of replica. See the replica types documentation for more details.

Enums
TYPE_UNSPECIFIED Not specified.
READ_WRITE

sessions.read-write replicas support both reads and writes. These replicas:

  • Maintain a full copy of your data.
  • Serve reads.
  • Can vote whether to commit a write.
  • Participate in leadership election.
  • Are eligible to become a leader.
READ_ONLY

sessions.read-only replicas only support reads (not writes). sessions.read-only replicas:

  • Maintain a full copy of your data.
  • Serve reads.
  • Do not participate in voting to commit writes.
  • Are not eligible to become a leader.
WITNESS

Witness replicas don't support reads but do participate in voting to commit writes. Witness replicas:

  • Do not maintain a full copy of data.
  • Do not serve reads.
  • Vote whether to commit writes.
  • Participate in leader election but are not eligible to become leader.

State

Indicates the current state of the instance configuration.

Enums
STATE_UNSPECIFIED Not specified.
CREATING The instance configuration is still being created.
READY The instance configuration is fully created and ready to be used to create instances.

FreeInstanceAvailability

Describes the availability for free instances to be created in an instance configuration.

Enums
FREE_INSTANCE_AVAILABILITY_UNSPECIFIED Not specified.
AVAILABLE Indicates that free instances are available to be created in this instance configuration.
UNSUPPORTED Indicates that free instances are not supported in this instance configuration.
DISABLED Indicates that free instances are currently not available to be created in this instance configuration.
QUOTA_EXCEEDED Indicates that additional free instances cannot be created in this instance configuration because the project has reached its limit of free instances.

QuorumType

Indicates the quorum type of this instance configuration.

Enums
QUORUM_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED Quorum type not specified.
REGION An instance configuration tagged with REGION quorum type forms a write quorum in a single region.
DUAL_REGION

An instance configuration tagged with the DUAL_REGION quorum type forms a write quorum with exactly two read-write regions in a multi-region configuration.

This instance configuration requires failover in the event of regional failures.

MULTI_REGION An instance configuration tagged with the MULTI_REGION quorum type forms a write quorum from replicas that are spread across more than one region in a multi-region configuration.
