google_compute_image resource

Syntax

A google_compute_image is used to test a Google Image resource

Beta Resource

This resource has beta fields available. To retrieve these fields, include beta: true in the constructor for the resource

Examples

describe google_compute_image(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'inspec-image') do
  it { should exist }
  its('disk_size_gb') { should cmp 3 }
end

describe google_compute_image(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', name: 'notfound') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Test that a GCP compute image is in a particular status e.g. “READY” means available for use

describe google_compute_image(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', location: 'europe-west2', name: 'compute-address') do
  its('status') { should eq "READY" }
end

Test that a GCP compute image has the expected family

describe google_compute_image(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp', name: 'ubuntu') do
  its('family') { should match "ubuntu" }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_compute_image resource:

archive_size_bytes
Size of the image tar.gz archive stored in Google Cloud Storage (in bytes).
creation_timestamp
Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
deprecated
The deprecation status associated with this image.
deleted
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DELETED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
deprecated
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to DEPRECATED. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
obsolete
An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to OBSOLETE. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
replacement
The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.
state
The deprecation state of this resource. This can be DEPRECATED, OBSOLETE, or DELETED. Operations which create a new resource using a DEPRECATED resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which use OBSOLETE or DELETED resources will be rejected and result in an error.

Possible values:

  • DEPRECATED
  • OBSOLETE
  • DELETED
description
An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
disk_size_gb
Size of the image when restored onto a persistent disk (in GB).
family
The name of the image family to which this image belongs. You can create disks by specifying an image family instead of a specific image name. The image family always returns its latest image that is not deprecated. The name of the image family must comply with RFC1035.
guest_os_features
A list of features to enable on the guest operating system. Applicable only for bootable images.
type
The type of supported feature. Read Enabling guest operating system features to see a list of available options.

Possible values:

  • MULTI_IP_SUBNET
  • SECURE_BOOT
  • UEFI_COMPATIBLE
  • VIRTIO_SCSI_MULTIQUEUE
  • WINDOWS
id
The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
image_encryption_key
Encrypts the image using a customer-supplied encryption key. After you encrypt an image with a customer-supplied key, you must provide the same key if you use the image later (e.g. to create a disk from the image)
raw_key
Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
sha256
The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource.
kms_key_name
(Beta only) The name of the encryption key that is stored in Google Cloud KMS.
labels
Labels to apply to this Image.
label_fingerprint
The fingerprint used for optimistic locking of this resource. Used internally during updates.
licenses
Any applicable license URI.
name
Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
raw_disk
The parameters of the raw disk image.
container_type
The format used to encode and transmit the block device, which should be TAR. This is just a container and transmission format and not a runtime format. Provided by the client when the disk image is created.

Possible values:

  • TAR
sha1_checksum
An optional SHA1 checksum of the disk image before unpackaging. This is provided by the client when the disk image is created.
source
The full Google Cloud Storage URL where disk storage is stored You must provide either this property or the sourceDisk property but not both.
source_disk
The source disk to create this image based on. You must provide either this property or the rawDisk.source property but not both to create an image.
source_disk_encryption_key
The customer-supplied encryption key of the source disk. Required if the source disk is protected by a customer-supplied encryption key.
raw_key
Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource.
sha256
The RFC 4648 base64 encoded SHA-256 hash of the customer-supplied encryption key that protects this resource.
kms_key_name
(Beta only) The name of the encryption key that is stored in Google Cloud KMS.
source_disk_id
The ID value of the disk used to create this image. This value may be used to determine whether the image was taken from the current or a previous instance of a given disk name.
source_type
The type of the image used to create this disk. The default and only value is RAW

Possible values:

  • RAW
self_link
The self link of the image
status
The status of the image. Either READY PENDING or FAILED.

Possible values:

  • READY
  • PENDING
  • FAILED
