Pipeline: Create Compute Engine Snapshot

This pipeline creates snapshot of persistent disk. Snapshots are useful for backing up persistent disk data and for creating custom images.

Run the pipeline

To run this pipeline from your terminal:

flowpipe pipeline run gcp.pipeline.create_compute_snapshot \
  --arg 'project_id=<string>' \
  --arg 'source_disk_zone=<string>' \
  --arg 'source_disk_name=<string>' \
  --arg 'snapshot_name=<string>'

Use this pipeline

To call this pipeline from your pipeline, use a step:

step "pipeline" "step_name" {
  pipeline = gcp.pipeline.create_compute_snapshot  
  args = {
    project_id = <string>
    source_disk_zone = <string>
    source_disk_name = <string>
    snapshot_name = <string>
  }
}
