I want to create a Google Compute Engine instance using the Python api. In particular, I want the source image to be Ubuntu 14.04.
In the doc, it is written to specify the json body of the request as follows:
{
"name": "example-instance",
"machineType": "zones/us-central1-f/machineTypes/f1-micro"
"networkInterfaces": [{
"accessConfigs": [{
"type": "ONE_TO_ONE_NAT",
"name": "External NAT"
}],
"network": "global/networks/default"
}],
"disks": [{
"autoDelete": "true",
"boot": "true",
"type": "PERSISTENT",
"initializeParams": {
"sourceImage": "projects/debian-cloud/global/images/v20150818"
}
}]
}
How can I modify the sourceImage
parameter value so that it points to the ubuntu 14.04 image? Indeed, the syntax "projects/debian-cloud/global/images/v20150818" is too specific to understand how to use it for other public images.
I am guessing you're referring to these docs ( source code ) which use the following URL format:
"projects/debian-cloud/global/images/debian-7-wheezy-v20150320"
The pattern here is:
"projects/${PROJECT}/global/images/${IMAGE}"
You can find the available images via:
$ gcloud compute images list
which will show you output similar to the following:

centos-7-v20151104 centos-cloud centos-7 READY

windows-server-2012-r2-dc-v20151006 windows-cloud windows-2012-r2 READY
So in the case of Ubuntu 14.04, the image path would be:
"projects/ubuntu-os-cloud/global/images/ubuntu-1404-trusty-v20151113"
You can also find out more metadata about an image via:
$ gcloud compute images describe --project ubuntu-os-cloud ubuntu-1404-trusty-20151113
and the selfLink
attribute in the output will provide a full URL to the image.
