Summary: Support GCE API v1
Key: JCLOUDS-393
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-393
Project: jclouds
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: jclouds-labs-google
Reporter: Andrew Bayer
Assignee: Andrew Bayer
Fix For: 1.7.0
So this is a bit of a stretch goal for 1.7.0, but GCE has gone GA and moved to
API v1, which...well, https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/transition-v1
- it's got a number of breaking changes from v1beta16 and earlier. Most
notably, instance creation and images are now more than a little different. The
images from v1beta16 and earlier with Google-provided kernels don't work with
v1, the kernel resource is just gone completely, and most annoyingly, you no
longer can create instances from images directly. Instead, you have to first
create a root persistent disk from an image, and then specify that disk when
creating the instance. When you get an instance's information, it no longer has
anything about the image it was created from - instead you've got to go through
the disk to see what its source image is, but even that's a bit odd, since the
current API reference doesn't actually include the sourceImage in the list of
fields for disk resources, though it's pretty strongly implied that it should
be there...bah.
Anyway, I'm going to try to get this done for 1.7.0, but given the timeframe,
it may not be completed in time. v1beta16 is supposed to stick around until
March, so we've got some cushion to get out 1.7.1 with v1 support if needed.
