GCP Compute Disk

A GCP Compute Disk—formally known as a Persistent Disk—is block-level storage that can be attached to Google Compute Engine virtual machine (VM) instances. Disks may be zonal or regional, support features such as snapshots, replication, and Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK), and can be resized or detached without data loss. Official documentation: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks

Terrafrom Mappings:

  • google_compute_disk.name

Supported Methods​

  • GET: Get GCP Compute Disk by "gcp-compute-disk-name"
  • LIST: List all GCP Compute Disk items
  • SEARCH

gcp-cloud-kms-crypto-key-version​

Indicates the specific Cloud KMS key version used when the disk is encrypted with a customer-managed encryption key.

gcp-compute-disk​

For regional or replicated disks, the resource records the relationship to its source or replica peer disk.

gcp-compute-image​

Shows the image from which the disk was created, or images that have been built from this disk.

gcp-compute-instance​

Lists the VM instances to which the disk is currently attached or has been attached historically.

gcp-compute-instant-snapshot​

Captures the association between the disk and any instant snapshots taken for rapid backup or restore operations.

gcp-compute-snapshot​

Represents traditional snapshots for the disk, enabling point-in-time recovery or disk cloning.

gcp-storage-bucket​

If disk snapshots or images are exported to Cloud Storage, this link records the destination bucket holding those exports.
