DiskTypes

Represents a DiskType resource. A Disk Type resource represents the type of disk to use, such as a pd-ssd or pd-standard . To reference a disk type, use the disk type's full URL, such as:

https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/<project-id>/zones/<zone>/diskTypes/pd-ssd

Property name	Value	Description
`creationTimestamp`	`string`	[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
`deprecated`	`nested object`	[Output Only] If applicable, the deprecation status associated with this machine type.
`deprecated. deleted`	`string`	[Output Only] An optional RFC3339 timestamp for when the deprecation state of this resource was changed to `DELETED` .
`deprecated. deprecated`	`string`	[Output Only] An optional RFC3339 timestamp for when the deprecation state of this resource was changed to `DEPRECATED` .
`deprecated. obsolete`	`string`	[Output Only] An optional RFC3339 timestamp for when the deprecation state of this resource was changed to `OBSOLETE` .
`deprecated. replacement`	`string`	[Output Only] A fully-qualified URL of the suggested replacement for the deprecated disk type.
`deprecated. state`	`string`	[Output Only] The deprecation state of this disk type. Google Compute Engine sets this status if a disk type will be deprecated soon. Acceptable values are: " `DELETED` ": `DELETED` disk types cannot be used by existing instances or new instances. You must choose another disk type to use. Google Compute Engine returns an error if you attempt to use this disk type and recommends a replacement. " `DEPRECATED` ": `DEPRECATED` disk types can still be used to create new disks, but Google Compute Engine issues a warning and recommends a replacement. " `OBSOLETE` ": Existing disks already using an `OBSOLETE` disk type can continue to do so, but you cannot create new instances with this disk type. Google Compute Engine returns a warning if you attempt to use the disk type for a new disk and recommends a replacement.
`description`	`string`	An optional textual description of the resource.
`id`	`unsigned long`	[Output Only] Unique identifier for the resource, generated by the server.
`kind`	`string`	[Output Only] The type of resource. Always compute#diskTypes for Disk Type resources.
`name`	`string`	[Output Only] Name of the resource.
`selfLink`	`string`	[Output Only] Server-defined fully-qualified URL for this resource.
`validDiskSize`	`string`	[Output Only] An optional textual description of the valid disk size. For example, "10GB-10TB."
`zone`	`string`	[Output Only] The fully-qualified URL for the zone where the disk type resource resides.
