Method: subnetworks.patch

Patches the specified subnetwork with the data included in the request. Only certain fields can be updated with a patch request as indicated in the field descriptions. You must specify the current fingerprint of the subnetwork resource being patched.

HTTP request

PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/beta/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/subnetworks/{subnetwork}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.

region

string

Name of the region scoping this request.

subnetwork

string

Name of the Subnetwork resource to patch.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

drainTimeoutSeconds

integer

The drain timeout specifies the upper bound in seconds on the amount of time allowed to drain connections from the current ACTIVE subnetwork to the current BACKUP subnetwork. The drain timeout is only applicable when the following conditions are true: - the subnetwork being patched has purpose = INTERNAL_HTTPS_LOAD_BALANCER - the subnetwork being patched has role = BACKUP - the patch request is setting the role to ACTIVE. Note that after this patch operation the roles of the ACTIVE and BACKUP subnetworks will be swapped.

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

Fields
kind

string

[Output Only] Type of the resource. Always compute#subnetwork for Subnetwork resources.

id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.

creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.

name

string

The name of the resource, provided by the client when initially creating the resource. 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]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? 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.

description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource. This field can be set only at resource creation time.

network

string

The URL of the network to which this subnetwork belongs, provided by the client when initially creating the subnetwork. This field can be set only at resource creation time.

ipCidrRange

string

The range of internal addresses that are owned by this subnetwork. Provide this property when you create the subnetwork. For example, 10.0.0.0/8 or 100.64.0.0/10. Ranges must be unique and non-overlapping within a network. Only IPv4 is supported. This field is set at resource creation time. The range can be any range listed in the Valid ranges list. The range can be expanded after creation using expandIpCidrRange.

reservedInternalRange

string

The URL of the reserved internal range.

gatewayAddress

string

[Output Only] The gateway address for default routes to reach destination addresses outside this subnetwork.

region

string

URL of the region where the Subnetwork resides. This field can be set only at resource creation time.

privateIpGoogleAccess

boolean

Whether the VMs in this subnet can access Google services without assigned external IP addresses. This field can be both set at resource creation time and updated using setPrivateIpGoogleAccess.

secondaryIpRanges[]

object

An array of configurations for secondary IP ranges for VM instances contained in this subnetwork. The primary IP of such VM must belong to the primary ipCidrRange of the subnetwork. The alias IPs may belong to either primary or secondary ranges. This field can be updated with a patch request.

secondaryIpRanges[].rangeName

string

The name associated with this subnetwork secondary range, used when adding an alias IP range to a VM instance. The name must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. The name must be unique within the subnetwork.

secondaryIpRanges[].ipCidrRange

string

The range of IP addresses belonging to this subnetwork secondary range. Provide this property when you create the subnetwork. Ranges must be unique and non-overlapping with all primary and secondary IP ranges within a network. Only IPv4 is supported. The range can be any range listed in the Valid ranges list.

secondaryIpRanges[].reservedInternalRange

string

The URL of the reserved internal range.

fingerprint

string (bytes format)

Fingerprint of this resource. A hash of the contents stored in this object. This field is used in optimistic locking. This field will be ignored when inserting a Subnetwork. An up-to-date fingerprint must be provided in order to update the Subnetwork, otherwise the request will fail with error 412 conditionNotMet.

To see the latest fingerprint, make a get() request to retrieve a Subnetwork.

A base64-encoded string.

allowSubnetCidrRoutesOverlap

boolean

Whether this subnetwork's ranges can conflict with existing static routes. Setting this to true allows this subnetwork's primary and secondary ranges to overlap with (and contain) static routes that have already been configured on the corresponding network.

For example if a static route has range 10.1.0.0/16, a subnet range 10.0.0.0/8 could only be created if allowConflictingRoutes=true.

Overlapping is only allowed on subnetwork operations; routes whose ranges conflict with this subnetwork's ranges won't be allowed unless route.allow_conflicting_subnetworks is set to true.

Typically packets destined to IPs within the subnetwork (which may contain private/sensitive data) are prevented from leaving the virtual network. Setting this field to true will disable this feature.

The default value is false and applies to all existing subnetworks and automatically created subnetworks.

This field cannot be set to true at resource creation time.

enableFlowLogs

boolean

Whether to enable flow logging for this subnetwork. If this field is not explicitly set, it will not appear in get listings. If not set the default behavior is determined by the org policy, if there is no org policy specified, then it will default to disabled. This field isn't supported if the subnet purpose field is set to REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY.

privateIpv6GoogleAccess

enum

This field is for internal use.

This field can be both set at resource creation time and updated using patch.

ipv6CidrRange

string

[Output Only] This field is for internal use.

externalIpv6Prefix

string

The external IPv6 address range that is owned by this subnetwork.

internalIpv6Prefix

string

The internal IPv6 address range that is owned by this subnetwork.

purpose

enum

The purpose of the resource. This field can be either PRIVATE, GLOBAL_MANAGED_PROXY, REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY, PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT, or PRIVATE is the default purpose for user-created subnets or subnets that are automatically created in auto mode networks. Subnets with purpose set to GLOBAL_MANAGED_PROXY or REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY are user-created subnetworks that are reserved for Envoy-based load balancers. A subnet with purpose set to PRIVATE_SERVICE_CONNECT is used to publish services using Private Service Connect. If unspecified, the subnet purpose defaults to PRIVATE. The enableFlowLogs field isn't supported if the subnet purpose field is set to GLOBAL_MANAGED_PROXY or REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY.

role

enum

The role of subnetwork. Currently, this field is only used when purpose is set to GLOBAL_MANAGED_PROXY or REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY. The value can be set to ACTIVE or BACKUP. An ACTIVE subnetwork is one that is currently being used for Envoy-based load balancers in a region. A BACKUP subnetwork is one that is ready to be promoted to ACTIVE or is currently draining. This field can be updated with a patch request.

state

enum

[Output Only] The state of the subnetwork, which can be one of the following values: READY: Subnetwork is created and ready to use DRAINING: only applicable to subnetworks that have the purpose set to INTERNAL_HTTPS_LOAD_BALANCER and indicates that connections to the load balancer are being drained. A subnetwork that is draining cannot be used or modified until it reaches a status of READY

logConfig

object

This field denotes the VPC flow logging options for this subnetwork. If logging is enabled, logs are exported to Cloud Logging.

logConfig.enable

boolean

Whether to enable flow logging for this subnetwork. If this field is not explicitly set, it will not appear in get listings. If not set the default behavior is determined by the org policy, if there is no org policy specified, then it will default to disabled. Flow logging isn't supported if the subnet purpose field is set to REGIONAL_MANAGED_PROXY.

logConfig.aggregationInterval

enum

Can only be specified if VPC flow logging for this subnetwork is enabled. Toggles the aggregation interval for collecting flow logs. Increasing the interval time will reduce the amount of generated flow logs for long lasting connections. Default is an interval of 5 seconds per connection.

logConfig.flowSampling

number

Can only be specified if VPC flow logging for this subnetwork is enabled. The value of the field must be in [0, 1]. Set the sampling rate of VPC flow logs within the subnetwork where 1.0 means all collected logs are reported and 0.0 means no logs are reported. Default is 0.5 unless otherwise specified by the org policy, which means half of all collected logs are reported.

logConfig.metadata

enum

Can only be specified if VPC flow logs for this subnetwork is enabled. Configures whether all, none or a subset of metadata fields should be added to the reported VPC flow logs. Default is EXCLUDE_ALL_METADATA.

logConfig.metadataFields[]

string

Can only be specified if VPC flow logs for this subnetwork is enabled and "metadata" was set to CUSTOM_METADATA.

logConfig.filterExpr

string

Can only be specified if VPC flow logs for this subnetwork is enabled. The filter expression is used to define which VPC flow logs should be exported to Cloud Logging.

stackType

enum

The stack type for the subnet. If set to IPV4_ONLY, new VMs in the subnet are assigned IPv4 addresses only. If set to IPV4_IPV6, new VMs in the subnet can be assigned both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. If not specified, IPV4_ONLY is used.

This field can be both set at resource creation time and updated using patch.

ipv6AccessType

enum

The access type of IPv6 address this subnet holds. It's immutable and can only be specified during creation or the first time the subnet is updated into IPV4_IPV6 dual stack.

Response body

Represents an Operation resource.

Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:

You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.

Operations can be global, regional or zonal.

  • For global operations, use the globalOperations resource.
  • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
  • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
