Snapshot
Represents a Persistent Disk Snapshot resource. Use snapshots to back up data from your persistent disks. Snapshots are different from public images and custom images, which are used primarily to create instances or configure instance templates. Snapshots are useful for periodic backup of the data on your persistent disks. You can create snapshots from persistent disks even while they are attached to running instances. Snapshots are incremental, so you can create regular snapshots on a persistent disk faster and at a much lower cost than if you regularly created a full image of the disk. To get more information about Snapshot, see:

Import
Snapshot can be imported using any of these accepted formats:
projects/{{project}}/global/snapshots/{{name}}
{{project}}/{{name}}
{{name}}
When using thepulumi import
command, Snapshot can be imported using one of the formats above. For example:
$ pulumi import gcp:compute/snapshot:Snapshot default projects/{{project}}/global/snapshots/{{name}}
$ pulumi import gcp:compute/snapshot:Snapshot default {{project}}/{{name}}
$ pulumi import gcp:compute/snapshot:Snapshot default {{name}}
Properties
Creates the new snapshot in the snapshot chain labeled with the specified name. The chain name must be 1-63 characters long and comply with RFC1035. This is an uncommon option only for advanced service owners who needs to create separate snapshot chains, for example, for chargeback tracking. When you describe your snapshot resource, this field is visible only if it has a non-empty value.
Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
An optional description of this resource.
Size of the snapshot, specified in GB.
All of labels (key/value pairs) present on the resource in GCP, including the labels configured through Pulumi, other clients and services.
The fingerprint used for optimistic locking of this resource. Used internally during updates.
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?
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.
The combination of labels configured directly on the resource and default labels configured on the provider.
Encrypts the snapshot using a customer-supplied encryption key. After you encrypt a snapshot using a customer-supplied key, you must provide the same key if you use the snapshot later. For example, you must provide the encryption key when you create a disk from the encrypted snapshot in a future request. Customer-supplied encryption keys do not protect access to metadata of the snapshot. If you do not provide an encryption key when creating the snapshot, then the snapshot will be encrypted using an automatically generated key and you do not need to provide a key to use the snapshot later. Structure is documented below.
The unique identifier for the resource.
A reference to the disk used to create this snapshot.
The customer-supplied encryption key of the source snapshot. Required if the source snapshot is protected by a customer-supplied encryption key. Structure is documented below.
A size of the storage used by the snapshot. As snapshots share storage, this number is expected to change with snapshot creation/deletion.
Cloud Storage bucket storage location of the snapshot (regional or multi-regional).
