Virtual Machines

Endpoints for managing virtual machines.

List Virtual Machines

Requires the virtual-machines-view capability.

SecuritybearerAuth and hubAuth
Request
query Parameters
meta
Array of strings

A comma-separated list of meta values. Meta values will show up under a resource's meta field. In the case of applying a meta to a collection of resources, each resource will have its own relevant meta data. In some rare cases, meta may not apply to individual resources, and may appear in the root document. These will be clearly labeled.

Items Enum: "domains" "ips"
include
Array of strings

A comma-separated list of include values. Included resources will show up under the root document's include field. In the case of applying an include to a collection of resources, if multiple resources share the same include, it will only appear once in the return.

Items Enum: "creators" "environments" "clusters" "containers"
object

Filter Field

The filter field is a key-value object, where the key is what you would like to filter, and the value is the value you're filtering for.

sort
Array of strings

An array of sort values. To sort descending, put a - in front of the value, e.g. -id.

object

In a list return, the data associated with the page number and size returned. 20 results per page, page 2 would be page[size]=20&page[number]=2

Request Body schema: application/json

Parameters for creating a new virtual machine.

identifier
string (Identifier)

A human-readable identifier used to refer to a resource, where using the official ID may be inconvenient. The identifier is automatically tokenized from the name/relevant field of the resource if one is not provided. For example, a container named "My Container" will have the identifier of my-container and is automatically created by the platform.

The identifier does not have to be unique.

name
required
string

A user-defined name for the virtual machine.

environment_id
required
string

The ID of the environment this virtual machine will be deployed to.

required
VirtualMachineImage (object) or VirtualMachineImage (object) or VirtualMachineImage (object) (VirtualMachineImage)
required
object (VirtualMachineConfig)

Defines the network and deployment configurations for a virtual machine.

lock
required
boolean

Prevents this virtual machine from being deleted when true.

Array of VirtualMachineVolumeConfig (objects) or null
base_disk_size
string

The size of the base disk. Must be between 10G and 100G.

object or null

Custom meta data. Not utilized by Cycle.
