Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
namestringOutput only. The name of the instance resource with the format: projects/{project}/locations/{region}/clusters/{cluster_id}/instances/{instance_id} where the cluster and instance ID segments should satisfy the regex expression [a-z]([a-z0-9-]{0,61}[a-z0-9])?, e.g. 1-63 characters of lowercase letters, numbers, and dashes, starting with a letter, and ending with a letter or number. For more details see https://google.aip.dev/122. The prefix of the instance resource name is the name of the parent resource: projects/{project}/locations/{region}/clusters/{cluster_id}
annotationsobjectAnnotations to allow client tools to store small amount of arbitrary data. This is distinct from labels. https://google.aip.dev/128
availabilityTypestringAvailability type of an Instance. If empty, defaults to REGIONAL for primary instances. For read pools, availability_type is always UNSPECIFIED. Instances in the read pools are evenly distributed across available zones within the region (i.e. read pools with more than one node will have a node in at least two zones).
clientConnectionConfigobjectClient connection configuration
createTimestringOutput only. Create time stamp
databaseFlagsobjectDatabase flags. Set at instance level. They are copied from primary instance on read instance creation. Read instances can set new or override existing flags that are relevant for reads, e.g. for enabling columnar cache on a read instance. Flags set on read instance may or may not be present on primary. This is a list of "key": "value" pairs. "key": The name of the flag. These flags are passed at instance setup time, so include both server options and system variables for Postgres. Flags are specified with underscores, not hyphens. "value": The value of the flag. Booleans are set to on for true and off for false. This field must be omitted if the flag doesn't take a value.
deleteTimestringOutput only. Delete time stamp
displayNamestringUser-settable and human-readable display name for the Instance.
etagstringFor Resource freshness validation (https://google.aip.dev/154)
gceZonestringThe Compute Engine zone that the instance should serve from, per https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones This can ONLY be specified for ZONAL instances. If present for a REGIONAL instance, an error will be thrown. If this is absent for a ZONAL instance, instance is created in a random zone with available capacity.
instanceTypestringRequired. The type of the instance. Specified at creation time.
ipAddressstringOutput only. The IP address for the Instance. This is the connection endpoint for an end-user application.
labelsobjectLabels as key value pairs
machineConfigobjectMachineConfig describes the configuration of a machine.
networkConfigobjectMetadata related to instance level network configuration.
nodesarrayOutput only. List of available read-only VMs in this instance, including the standby for a PRIMARY instance.
outboundPublicIpAddressesarrayOutput only. All outbound public IP addresses configured for the instance.
pscInstanceConfigobjectPscInstanceConfig contains PSC related configuration at an instance level.
publicIpAddressstringOutput only. The public IP addresses for the Instance. This is available ONLY when enable_public_ip is set. This is the connection endpoint for an end-user application.
queryInsightsConfigobjectQueryInsights Instance specific configuration.
readPoolConfigobjectConfiguration for a read pool instance.
reconcilingbooleanOutput only. Reconciling (https://google.aip.dev/128#reconciliation). Set to true if the current state of Instance does not match the user's intended state, and the service is actively updating the resource to reconcile them. This can happen due to user-triggered updates or system actions like failover or maintenance.
satisfiesPzsbooleanOutput only. Reserved for future use.
statestringOutput only. The current serving state of the instance.
uidstringOutput only. The system-generated UID of the resource. The UID is assigned when the resource is created, and it is retained until it is deleted.
updateTimestringOutput only. Update time stamp
writableNodeobjectDetails of a single node in the instance. Nodes in an AlloyDB instance are ephemereal, they can change during update, failover, autohealing and resize operations.

Methods

NameAccessible byRequired ParamsDescription
getSELECTclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdGets details of a single Instance.
listSELECTclustersId, locationsId, projectsIdLists Instances in a given project and location.
createINSERTclustersId, locationsId, projectsIdCreates a new Instance in a given project and location.
deleteDELETEclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdDeletes a single Instance.
patchUPDATEclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdUpdates the parameters of a single Instance.
failoverEXECclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdForces a Failover for a highly available instance. Failover promotes the HA standby instance as the new primary. Imperative only.
inject_faultEXECclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdInjects fault in an instance. Imperative only.
restartEXECclustersId, instancesId, locationsId, projectsIdRestart an Instance in a cluster. Imperative only.
