idle_timeout

Duration

Optional. Number of seconds to wait before automatically stopping a workstation after it last received user traffic.

A value of "0s" indicates that Cloud Workstations VMs created with this configuration should never time out due to idleness. Provide duration terminated by s for seconds—for example, "7200s" (2 hours). The default is "1200s" (20 minutes).
running_timeout

Duration

Optional. Number of seconds that a workstation can run until it is automatically shut down. We recommend that workstations be shut down daily to reduce costs and so that security updates can be applied upon restart. The idle_timeout and running_timeout fields are independent of each other. Note that the running_timeout field shuts down VMs after the specified time, regardless of whether or not the VMs are idle.

Provide duration terminated by s for seconds—for example, "54000s" (15 hours). Defaults to "43200s" (12 hours). A value of "0s" indicates that workstations using this configuration should never time out. If encryption_key is set, it must be greater than "0s" and less than "86400s" (24 hours).

Warning: A value of "0s" indicates that Cloud Workstations VMs created with this configuration have no maximum running time. This is strongly discouraged because you incur costs and will not pick up security updates.

CustomerEncryptionKey

Immutable. Encrypts resources of this workstation configuration using a customer-managed encryption key (CMEK).

If specified, the boot disk of the Compute Engine instance and the persistent disk are encrypted using this encryption key. If this field is not set, the disks are encrypted using a generated key. Customer-managed encryption keys do not protect disk metadata.

If the customer-managed encryption key is rotated, when the workstation instance is stopped, the system attempts to recreate the persistent disk with the new version of the key. Be sure to keep older versions of the key until the persistent disk is recreated. Otherwise, data on the persistent disk might be lost.

If the encryption key is revoked, the workstation session automatically stops within 7 hours.

Immutable after the workstation configuration is created.
readiness_checks[]

ReadinessCheck

Optional. Readiness checks to perform when starting a workstation using this workstation configuration. Mark a workstation as running only after all specified readiness checks return 200 status codes.
replica_zones[]

string

Optional. Immutable. Specifies the zones used to replicate the VM and disk resources within the region. If set, exactly two zones within the workstation cluster's region must be specified—for example, ['us-central1-a', 'us-central1-f']. If this field is empty, two default zones within the region are used.

Immutable after the workstation configuration is created.

bool

Optional. Whether to enable Linux auditd logging on the workstation. When enabled, a service account must also be specified that has logging.buckets.write permission on the project. Operating system audit logging is distinct from Cloud Audit Logs.
disable_tcp_connections

bool

Optional. Disables support for plain TCP connections in the workstation. By default the service supports TCP connections through a websocket relay. Setting this option to true disables that relay, which prevents the usage of services that require plain TCP connections, such as SSH. When enabled, all communication must occur over HTTPS or WSS.

Container

A Docker container.

Fields
image

string

Optional. A Docker container image that defines a custom environment.

Cloud Workstations provides a number of preconfigured images, but you can create your own custom container images. If using a private image, the host.gceInstance.serviceAccount field must be specified in the workstation configuration. If using a custom container image, the service account must have Artifact Registry Reader permission to pull the specified image. Otherwise, the image must be publicly accessible.
command[]

string

Optional. If set, overrides the default ENTRYPOINT specified by the image.
args[]

string

Optional. Arguments passed to the entrypoint.

When specified, be sure that the service account has logginglogEntries.create permission on the project so it can write logs out to Cloud Logging. If using a custom container image, the service account must have Artifact Registry Reader permission to pull the specified image.

If you as the administrator want to be able to ssh into the underlying VM, you need to set this value to a service account for which you have the iam.serviceAccounts.actAs permission. Conversely, if you don't want anyone to be able to ssh into the underlying VM, use a service account where no one has that permission.

If not set, VMs run with a service account provided by the Cloud Workstations service, and the image must be publicly accessible.

Optional. When set to true, disables public IP addresses for VMs. If you disable public IP addresses, you must set up Private Google Access or Cloud NAT on your network. If you use Private Google Access and you use private.googleapis.com or restricted.googleapis.com for Container Registry and Artifact Registry, make sure that you set up DNS records for domains *.gcr.io and *.pkg.dev. Defaults to false (VMs have public IP addresses).
enable_nested_virtualization

bool

Optional. Whether to enable nested virtualization on Cloud Workstations VMs created using this workstation configuration.

Nested virtualization lets you run virtual machine (VM) instances inside your workstation. Before enabling nested virtualization, consider the following important considerations. Cloud Workstations instances are subject to the same restrictions as Compute Engine instances:

  • Organization policy: projects, folders, or organizations may be restricted from creating nested VMs if the Disable VM nested virtualization constraint is enforced in the organization policy. For more information, see the Compute Engine section, Checking whether nested virtualization is allowed.
  • Performance: nested VMs might experience a 10% or greater decrease in performance for workloads that are CPU-bound and possibly greater than a 10% decrease for workloads that are input/output bound.
  • Machine Type: nested virtualization can only be enabled on workstation configurations that specify a machine_type in the N1 or N2 machine series.
  • GPUs: nested virtualization may not be enabled on workstation configurations with accelerators.
  • Operating System: Because Container-Optimized OS does not support nested virtualization, when nested virtualization is enabled, the underlying Compute Engine VM instances boot from an Ubuntu LTS image.

Optional. Location of this directory in the running workstation.
Union field directory_type. How a persistent directory should be implemented. directory_type can be only one of the following:
gce_pd

GceRegionalPersistentDisk

A PersistentDirectory backed by a Compute Engine persistent disk.

GceRegionalPersistentDisk

A Persistent Directory backed by a Compute Engine regional persistent disk. The persistent_directories field is repeated, but it may contain only one entry. It creates a persistent disk that mounts to the workstation VM at /home when the session starts and detaches when the session ends. If this field is empty, workstations created with this configuration do not have a persistent home directory.

Fields
size_gb

int32

Optional. The GB capacity of a persistent home directory for each workstation created with this configuration. Must be empty if source_snapshot is set.

Valid values are 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, or 1000. Defaults to 200. If less than 200 GB, the disk_type must be "pd-balanced" or "pd-ssd".
fs_type

string

Optional. Type of file system that the disk should be formatted with. The workstation image must support this file system type. Must be empty if source_snapshot is set. Defaults to "ext4".
disk_type

string

Optional. The type of the persistent disk for the home directory. Defaults to "pd-standard".
source_snapshot

string

Optional. Name of the snapshot to use as the source for the disk. If set, size_gb and fs_type must be empty.
reclaim_policy

ReclaimPolicy

Optional. Whether the persistent disk should be deleted when the workstation is deleted. Valid values are DELETE and RETAIN. Defaults to DELETE.

ReclaimPolicy

Value representing what should happen to the disk after the workstation is deleted.

Enums
RECLAIM_POLICY_UNSPECIFIED Do not use.
DELETE Delete the persistent disk when deleting the workstation.
