Required. The resource name of the serviceConfig used to initialize the service. Format: projects/{projectId}/locations/{location}/serviceConfig.
Request body
The request body contains data with the following structure:
JSON representation
{"resourceType": string,"requestId": string,// Union field initialization_config can be only one of the following:"cloudSqlInstanceInitializationConfig": {object (CloudSqlInstanceInitializationConfig)}// End of list of possible types for union field initialization_config.}
Fields
resourceType
string
Required. The resource type to which the default service config will be applied. Examples include, "compute.googleapis.com/Instance" and "storage.googleapis.com/Bucket".
requestId
string
Optional. 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. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes since the first request.
For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and t he 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).
Union field initialization_config. The configuration for initializing the resource. initialization_config can be only one of the following:
