gcp_compute_image – Creates a GCP Image¶
New in version 2.6.
Synopsis¶
- Represents an Image resource.
- Google Compute Engine uses operating system images to create the root persistent disks for your instances. You specify an image when you create an instance. Images contain a boot loader, an operating system, and a root file system. Linux operating system images are also capable of running containers on Compute Engine.
- Images can be either public or custom.
- Public images are provided and maintained by Google, open-source communities, and third-party vendors. By default, all projects have access to these images and can use them to create instances. Custom images are available only to your project. You can create a custom image from root persistent disks and other images. Then, use the custom image to create an instance.
