class __OneOfClass_type_managed_disk__(__OneOfClass_type__): (source)
Constructor: AttachedDiskSpec.__OneOfClass_type_managed_disk__(message)
Attach a managed disk.
Lifecycle:
- The disk is deleted when the instance is deleted.
Semantics:
- Specifying a ManagedDisk expresses an intent to have that managed disk attached.
- If this intent cannot be satisfied, the entire operation fails.
- You can check the intent status in instance.status.disk_attachments.
Updates and matching:
- Managed disks can be updated only via instance spec updates. Updates via DiskService are not allowed.
- During updates, disks are matched by name.
Renaming and data loss:
- Changing the disk name triggers disk replacement (create a new disk and delete the old one), which causes data loss.
- To rename a managed disk safely:
- switch it to ExistingDisk in the instance spec, and
- update/rename it via DiskService.
Conflicts:
- Instance create/update fails if there is already a disk with the same name. as requested by any ManagedDisk.
Finding the disk ID:
- The disk ID is available in instance.status.disk_attachments after it is created. Use DiskAttachmentStatus.name to find the desired disk which matches name.
Switching to an existing (non-managed) disk:
- To preserve the disk after instance deletion, switch it to ExistingDisk in the instance spec, use the disk ID from instance.status.disk_attachments.
Deletion protection:
- Switching ExistingDisk to ManagedDisk fails if Disk.spec.deletion_protection is enabled.
- Deleting an instance that has a ManagedDisk fails if Disk.spec.deletion_protection is enabled.
