Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key

Description

resources

complex

List of resources

Returned: always

baseInstanceName

string

The base instance name to use for instances in this group. The value must be 1-58 characters long. Instances are named by appending a hyphen and a random four-character string to the base instance name.

The base instance name must comply with RFC1035.

Returned: success

creationTimestamp

string

The creation timestamp for this managed instance group in RFC3339 text format.

Returned: success

currentActions

complex

The list of instance actions and the number of instances in this managed instance group that are scheduled for each of those actions.

Returned: success

abandoning

integer

The total number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be abandoned. Abandoning an instance removes it from the managed instance group without deleting it.

Returned: success

creating

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be created or are currently being created. If the group fails to create any of these instances, it tries again until it creates the instance successfully.

If you have disabled creation retries, this field will not be populated; instead, the creatingWithoutRetries field will be populated.

Returned: success

creatingWithoutRetries

integer

The number of instances that the managed instance group will attempt to create. The group attempts to create each instance only once. If the group fails to create any of these instances, it decreases the group’s targetSize value accordingly.

Returned: success

deleting

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be deleted or are currently being deleted.

Returned: success

none

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are running and have no scheduled actions.

Returned: success

recreating

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be recreated or are currently being being recreated.

Recreating an instance deletes the existing root persistent disk and creates a new disk from the image that is defined in the instance template.

Returned: success

refreshing

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are being reconfigured with properties that do not require a restart or a recreate action. For example, setting or removing target pools for the instance.

Returned: success

restarting

integer

The number of instances in the managed instance group that are scheduled to be restarted or are currently being restarted.

Returned: success

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.

Returned: success

id

integer

A unique identifier for this resource.

Returned: success

instanceGroup

dictionary

The instance group being managed.

Returned: success

instanceTemplate

dictionary

The instance template that is specified for this managed instance group. The group uses this template to create all new instances in the managed instance group.

Returned: success

name

string

The name of the managed instance group. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035.

Returned: success

namedPorts

complex

Named ports configured for the Instance Groups complementary to this Instance Group Manager.

Returned: success

port

integer

The port number, which can be a value between 1 and 65535.

Returned: success

region

string

The region this managed instance group resides (for regional resources).

Returned: success

targetPools

list / elements=string

TargetPool resources to which instances in the instanceGroup field are added. The target pools automatically apply to all of the instances in the managed instance group.

Returned: success

targetSize

integer

The target number of running instances for this managed instance group. Deleting or abandoning instances reduces this number. Resizing the group changes this number.

Returned: success

zone

string
