Patches the specified image with the data included in the request. Only the following fields can be modified: family, description, deprecation status.

HTTP request

PATCH https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/global/images/{image}

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters

Parameters
`project`	`string` Project ID for this request.
`image`	`string` Name of the image resource to patch.

project

string

Project ID for this request.

image

string

Name of the image resource to patch.

Query parameters

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`).

`name`	`string` Name of the resource; provided by the client when the resource is created. 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.
`sourceType`	`enum` The type of the image used to create this disk. The default and only valid value is `RAW`.
`rawDisk`	`object` The parameters of the raw disk image.
`rawDisk.source`	`string` The full Google Cloud Storage URL where the raw disk image archive is stored. The following are valid formats for the URL: `https://storage.googleapis.com/bucketName/image_archive_name` `https://storage.googleapis.com/bucketName/folder_name/image_archive_name` In order to create an image, you must provide the full or partial URL of one of the following: The `rawDisk.source` URL The `sourceDisk` URL The `sourceImage` URL The `sourceSnapshot` URL
`rawDisk.sha1Checksum (deprecated)`	`string` [Deprecated] This field is deprecated. An optional SHA1 checksum of the disk image before unpackaging provided by the client when the disk image is created.
`rawDisk.containerType`	`enum` The format used to encode and transmit the block device, which should be `TAR`. This is just a container and transmission format and not a runtime format. Provided by the client when the disk image is created.
`deprecated`	`object` The deprecation status associated with this image.
`deprecated.state`	`enum` The deprecation state of this resource. This can be `ACTIVE`, `DEPRECATED`, `OBSOLETE`, or `DELETED`. Operations which communicate the end of life date for an image, can use `ACTIVE`. Operations which create a new resource using a `DEPRECATED` resource will return successfully, but with a warning indicating the deprecated resource and recommending its replacement. Operations which use `OBSOLETE` or `DELETED` resources will be rejected and result in an error.
`deprecated.replacement`	`string` The URL of the suggested replacement for a deprecated resource. The suggested replacement resource must be the same kind of resource as the deprecated resource.
`deprecated.deprecated`	`string` An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to `DEPRECATED`. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
`deprecated.obsolete`	`string` An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to `OBSOLETE`. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
`deprecated.deleted`	`string` An optional RFC3339 timestamp on or after which the state of this resource is intended to change to `DELETED`. This is only informational and the status will not change unless the client explicitly changes it.
`status`	`enum` [Output Only] The status of the image. An image can be used to create other resources, such as instances, only after the image has been successfully created and the `status` is set to `READY`. Possible values are `FAILED`, `PENDING`, or `READY`.

The image family name can be from a publicly managed image family provided by Compute Engine, or from a custom image family you create. For example, `centos-stream-9` is a publicly available image family. For more information, see Image family best practices. When creating disks, you can specify an image family instead of a specific image name. The image family always returns its latest image that is not deprecated. The name of the image family must comply with RFC1035.
`imageEncryptionKey`	`object` Encrypts the image using a customer-supplied encryption key. After you encrypt an image with a customer-supplied key, you must provide the same key if you use the image later (e.g. to create a disk from the image). Customer-supplied encryption keys do not protect access to metadata of the disk. If you do not provide an encryption key when creating the image, then the disk will be encrypted using an automatically generated key and you do not need to provide a key to use the image later.
`imageEncryptionKey.rawKey`	`string` Specifies a 256-bit customer-supplied encryption key, encoded in RFC 4648 base64 to either encrypt or decrypt this resource. You can provide either the `rawKey` or the `rsaEncryptedKey`. For example: "rawKey": "SGVsbG8gZnJvbSBHb29nbGUgQ2xvdWQgUGxhdGZvcm0="

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:

Fields
`kind`	`string` [Output Only] Type of the resource. Always `compute#operation` for Operation resources.
`id`	`string (uint64 format)` [Output Only] The unique identifier for the operation. This identifier is defined by the server.
`creationTimestamp`	`string` [Deprecated] This field is deprecated.
`name`	`string` [Output Only] Name of the operation.
`zone`	`string` [Output Only] The URL of the zone where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing per-zone operations.
`clientOperationId`	`string` [Output Only] The value of `requestId` if you provided it in the request. Not present otherwise.
`operationType`	`string` [Output Only] The type of operation, such as `insert`, `update`, or `delete`, and so on.
`targetLink`	`string` [Output Only] The URL of the resource that the operation modifies. For operations related to creating a snapshot, this points to the disk that the snapshot was created from.
`targetId`	`string (uint64 format)` [Output Only] The unique target ID, which identifies a specific incarnation of the target resource.
`status`	`enum` [Output Only] The status of the operation, which can be one of the following: `PENDING`, `RUNNING`, or `DONE`.
`statusMessage`	`string` [Output Only] An optional textual description of the current status of the operation.
`user`	`string` [Output Only] User who requested the operation, for example: `user@example.com` or `alice_smith_identifier (global/workforcePools/example-com-us-employees)`.
`progress`	`integer` [Output Only] An optional progress indicator that ranges from 0 to 100. There is no requirement that this be linear or support any granularity of operations. This should not be used to guess when the operation will be complete. This number should monotonically increase as the operation progresses.
`insertTime`	`string` [Output Only] The time that this operation was requested. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`startTime`	`string` [Output Only] The time that this operation was started by the server. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`endTime`	`string` [Output Only] The time that this operation was completed. This value is in RFC3339 text format.
`error`	`object` [Output Only] If errors are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
`error.errors[]`	`object` [Output Only] The array of errors encountered while processing this operation.
`error.errors[].code`	`string` [Output Only] The error type identifier for this error.
`error.errors[].location`	`string` [Output Only] Indicates the field in the request that caused the error. This property is optional.
`error.errors[].message`	`string` [Output Only] An optional, human-readable error message.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[]`	`object` [Output Only] An optional list of messages that contain the error details. There is a set of defined message types to use for providing details.The syntax depends on the error code. For example, QuotaExceededInfo will have details when the error code is QUOTA_EXCEEDED.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo`	`object`
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.reason`	`string` The reason of the error. This is a constant value that identifies the proximate cause of the error. Error reasons are unique within a particular domain of errors. This should be at most 63 characters and match a regular expression of `[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]+[A-Z0-9]`, which represents UPPER_SNAKE_CASE.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.domain`	`string` The logical grouping to which the "reason" belongs. The error domain is typically the registered service name of the tool or product that generates the error. Example: "pubsub.googleapis.com". If the error is generated by some common infrastructure, the error domain must be a globally unique value that identifies the infrastructure. For Google API infrastructure, the error domain is "googleapis.com".
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].errorInfo.metadatas`	`map (key: string, value: string)` Additional structured details about this error. Keys must match /[a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-_]+/ but should ideally be lowerCamelCase. Also they must be limited to 64 characters in length. When identifying the current value of an exceeded limit, the units should be contained in the key, not the value. For example, rather than {"instanceLimit": "100/request"}, should be returned as, {"instanceLimitPerRequest": "100"}, if the client exceeds the number of instances that can be created in a single (batch) request.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo`	`object`
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.metricName`	`string` The Compute Engine quota metric name.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.limitName`	`string` The name of the quota limit.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.dimensions`	`map (key: string, value: string)` The map holding related quota dimensions.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.limit`	`number` Current effective quota limit. The limit's unit depends on the quota type or metric.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.futureLimit`	`number` Future quota limit being rolled out. The limit's unit depends on the quota type or metric.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].quotaInfo.rolloutStatus`	`enum` Rollout status of the future quota limit.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].help`	`object`
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].help.links[]`	`object` URL(s) pointing to additional information on handling the current error.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].help.links[].description`	`string` Describes what the link offers.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].help.links[].url`	`string` The URL of the link.
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].localizedMessage`	`object`
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].localizedMessage.locale`	`string` The locale used following the specification defined at https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/bcp/bcp47.txt. Examples are: "en-US", "fr-CH", "es-MX"
`error.errors[].errorDetails[].localizedMessage.message`	`string` The localized error message in the above locale.
`warnings[]`	`object` [Output Only] If warning messages are generated during processing of the operation, this field will be populated.
`warnings[].code`	`enum` [Output Only] A warning code, if applicable. For example, Compute Engine returns `NO_RESULTS_ON_PAGE` if there are no results in the response.
`warnings[].message`	`string` [Output Only] A human-readable description of the warning code.
`warnings[].data[]`	`object` [Output Only] Metadata about this warning in `key: value` format. For example: "data": [ { "key": "scope", "value": "zones/us-east1-d" }
`warnings[].data[].key`	`string` [Output Only] A key that provides more detail on the warning being returned. For example, for warnings where there are no results in a list request for a particular zone, this key might be `scope` and the key value might be the zone name. Other examples might be a key indicating a deprecated resource and a suggested replacement, or a warning about invalid network settings (for example, if an instance attempts to perform IP forwarding but is not enabled for IP forwarding).
`warnings[].data[].value`	`string` [Output Only] A warning data value corresponding to the key.
`httpErrorStatusCode`	`integer` [Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error status code that was returned. For example, a `404` means the resource was not found.
`httpErrorMessage`	`string` [Output Only] If the operation fails, this field contains the HTTP error message that was returned, such as `NOT FOUND`.
`selfLink`	`string` [Output Only] Server-defined URL for the resource.
`region`	`string` [Output Only] The URL of the region where the operation resides. Only applicable when performing regional operations.
`description`	`string` [Output Only] A textual description of the operation, which is set when the operation is created.
