The Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) of
Google Distributed Cloud (GDC) air-gapped uses Kubernetes Resource Model (KRM) APIs in its
virtual machine (VM) operations and lifecycle management.
Use the kubectl CLI for the VMM APIs.
Service endpoint
The VMM KRM APIs are provided in two packages depending on zonal deployment or
global deployment.
The API endpoints for the zonal and global VMM APIs are the following,
respectively:
The MANAGEMENT_API_SERVER_ENDPOINT variable is the
endpoint of the Management API server.
Discovery document
Use the kubectl proxy command to open a proxy to the API server on your local
machine. From there, you can access the discovery document at one of the
following URLs:
The following VirtualMachineImageImport file shows the creation of a disk
image from a persistent disk. You choose the persistent
disk from a VirtualMachineDisk list and select it to create the image and get
the size parameter of the source. The same example is on the
Create custom images
page.
