Read-Only
-
boot_disk(Attributes) Specified boot disk attached to the instance. (see below for nested schema) -
cloud_init_user_data(String, Sensitive) : Data in cloud-init format for customizing instance initialization. For details, see https://docs.nebius.com/compute/virtual-machines/manage#user-data -
created_at(String) : Timestamp indicating when the resource was created. A string representing a timestamp in ISO 8601 format:YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZorYYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSS±HH:MM -
filesystems(Attributes List) List of Shared Filesystems attached to the instance. (see below for nested schema) -
gpu_cluster(Attributes) : If you want to interconnect several instances in a GPU cluster via NVIDIA InfiniBand, set the ID of an existing GPU cluster. You can only add the VM to the cluster when creating the VM. For details, see https://docs.nebius.com/compute/clusters/gpu (see below for nested schema) -
hostname(String) : Instance’s hostname. Used to generate default DNS record in format<hostname>.<network_id>.compute.internal.or<instance_id>.<network_id>.compute.internal.if hostname is not specified. -
labels(Map of String) : Labels associated with the resource. -
local_disks(Attributes) : Local disks are meaningfully different from regular (remote) disks: they are provided by the underlying host and are tied to a particular VM run. Local disk data is not preserved across Stop-Start initiated via Compute API. Local disks are not provided by default. To get them, explicitly request them via this field. Availability depends on the selected platform, preset and region. Changing this field will result in disks change and content loss, but only after stop and start the instance. (see below for nested schema) -
metadata(Attributes) :Inner value description
Common resource metadata. (see below for nested schema) -
network_interfaces(Attributes List) : List of network interfaces attached to the instance.Inner value description
Describes the specification of a network interface. (see below for nested schema) -
preemptible(Attributes) : Include these parameters to create a Preemptible VM and omit them to create a Regular VM For details, see https://docs.nebius.com/compute/virtual-machines/preemptible (see below for nested schema) -
recovery_policy(String) : Recovery policy defines how the instance will be treated in case of a failure. Common source of failure is a host failure, but it can be any other failure. Instance undergoing a guest shutdown (poweroff, etc.) will be subject to recovery policy, meaning that it could be restarted and billed accordingly. Stop instance via API or UI to stop it to avoid recovering.- If set to RECOVER, instance will be restarted, if possible. It could be restarted on the same host or on another host.
- If set to FAIL, instance will be stopped and not restarted.
Supported values
Possible values:RECOVERFAIL
-
reservation_policy(Attributes) (see below for nested schema) -
resource_version(Number) : Version of the resource for safe concurrent modifications and consistent reads. Positive and monotonically increases on each resource spec change (but not on each change of the resource’s container(s) or status). Service allows zero value or current. -

Possible values:UNSPECIFIEDREAD_ONLYREAD_WRITE
-
device_id(String) Specifies the user-defined identifier, allowing to use ‘/dev/disk/by-id/virtio-’ as a device path in mount command. -
existing_disk(Attributes) : Attach an existing disk. Lifecycle:- The disk is preserved when the instance is deleted (it will be detached).
- To delete the disk together with the instance, switch to ManagedDisk in the instance spec.
- For the switch,
ManagedDisk.nameMUST match the current diskname(see DiskService.Get for the disk referenced byExistingDisk.id). - When converting an ExistingDisk to a ManagedDisk, you must provide
ManagedDisk.nameandManagedDisk.specexactly as they are currently defined in the disk resource. Obtain the current values viaDiskService.Getand copy them verbatim. IfManagedDisk.specdiffers from the current disk spec, the instance update will fail.
-
managed_disk(Attributes) : Attach a managed disk. Lifecycle:- The disk is deleted when the instance is deleted.
- 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.
- Managed disks can be updated only via instance spec updates. Updates via DiskService are not allowed.
- During updates, disks are matched by
name.
- Changing the disk
nametriggers 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.
- Instance create/update fails if there is already a disk with the same
name. as requested by any ManagedDisk.
- The disk ID is available in
instance.status.disk_attachmentsafter it is created. UseDiskAttachmentStatus.nameto find the desired disk which matchesname.
- To preserve the disk after instance deletion, switch it to ExistingDisk in the instance spec,
use the disk ID from
instance.status.disk_attachments.
- Switching ExistingDisk to ManagedDisk fails if
Disk.spec.deletion_protectionis enabled. - Deleting an instance that has a ManagedDisk fails if
Disk.spec.deletion_protectionis enabled.
