For more details see https://google.aip.dev/122. The prefix of the instance resource name is the name of the parent resource: * projects/{project}/locations/{region}/clusters/{cluster_id}
`displayName`	`string` User-settable and human-readable display name for the Instance.
`uid`	`string` Output only. The system-generated UID of the resource. The UID is assigned when the resource is created, and it is retained until it is deleted.
`createTime`	`string (Timestamp format)` Output only. Create time stamp Uses RFC 3339, where generated output will always be Z-normalized and use 0, 3, 6 or 9 fractional digits.

Instances in the read pools are evenly distributed across available zones within the region (i.e. read pools with more than one node will have a node in at least two zones).
`gceZone`	`string` The Compute Engine zone that the instance should serve from, per https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/regions-zones This can ONLY be specified for ZONAL instances. If present for a REGIONAL instance, an error will be thrown. If this is absent for a ZONAL instance, instance is created in a random zone with available capacity.
`databaseFlags`	`map (key: string, value: string)` Database flags. Set at the instance level. They are copied from the primary instance on secondary instance creation. Flags that have restrictions default to the value at primary instance on read instances during creation. Read instances can set new flags or override existing flags that are relevant for reads, for example, for enabling columnar cache on a read instance. Flags set on read instance might or might not be present on the primary instance. This is a list of "key": "value" pairs. "key": The name of the flag. These flags are passed at instance setup time, so include both server options and system variables for Postgres. Flags are specified with underscores, not hyphens. "value": The value of the flag. Booleans are set to on for true and off for false. This field must be omitted if the flag doesn't take a value. An object containing a list of `"key": value` pairs.

Set to true if the current state of Instance does not match the user's intended state, and the service is actively updating the resource to reconcile them. This can happen due to user-triggered updates or system actions like failover or maintenance.
`etag`	`string` For Resource freshness validation (https://google.aip.dev/154)

There are restrictions around when an instance can/cannot be activated (for example, a read pool instance should be stopped before stopping primary etc.). Please refer to the API documentation for more details.
`connectionPoolConfig`	`object (ConnectionPoolConfig)` Optional. The configuration for Managed Connection Pool (MCP).
`maintenanceVersionName`	`string` Output only. Maintenance version of the instance, for example: POSTGRES_15.2025_07_15.04_00. Output only. Update this field via the parent cluster's maintenance_version field(s).
`dataApiAccess`	`enum (DataApiAccess)` Optional. Controls whether the Data API is enabled for this instance. When enabled, this allows authorized users to connect to the instance from the public internet using the `executeSql` API, even for private IP instances.

`consumerProject`	`string` The consumer project to which the PSC service automation endpoint will be created.
`consumerNetwork`	`string` The consumer network for the PSC service automation, example: "projects/vpc-host-project/global/networks/default". The consumer network might be hosted a different project than the consumer project.
`ipAddress`	`string` Output only. The IP address of the PSC service automation endpoint.
`status`	`string` Output only. The status of the PSC service automation connection. Possible values: "STATE_UNSPECIFIED" - An invalid state as the default case. "ACTIVE" - The connection has been created successfully. "FAILED" - The connection is not functional since some resources on the connection fail to be created. "CREATING" - The connection is being created. "DELETING" - The connection is being deleted. "CREATE_REPAIRING" - The connection is being repaired to complete creation. "DELETE_REPAIRING" - The connection is being repaired to complete deletion.
`consumerNetworkStatus`	`string` Output only. The status of the service connection policy. Possible values: "STATE_UNSPECIFIED" - Default state, when Connection Map is created initially. "VALID" - Set when policy and map configuration is valid, and their matching can lead to allowing creation of PSC Connections subject to other constraints like connections limit. "CONNECTION_POLICY_MISSING" - No Service Connection Policy found for this network and Service Class "POLICY_LIMIT_REACHED" - Service Connection Policy limit reached for this network and Service Class "CONSUMER_INSTANCE_PROJECT_NOT_ALLOWLISTED" - The consumer instance project is not in AllowedGoogleProducersResourceHierarchyLevels of the matching ServiceConnectionPolicy.

InstanceNetworkConfig

JSON representation
{ "authorizedExternalNetworks": [ { object (`AuthorizedNetwork`) } ], "enablePublicIp": boolean, "enableOutboundPublicIp": boolean, "network": string, "allocatedIpRangeOverride": string }

Fields
`authorizedExternalNetworks[]`	`object (AuthorizedNetwork)` Optional. A list of external network authorized to access this instance.
`enablePublicIp`	`boolean` Optional. Enabling public ip for the instance.
`enableOutboundPublicIp`	`boolean` Optional. Enabling an outbound public IP address to support a database server sending requests out into the internet.
`network`	`string` Output only. The resource link for the VPC network in which instance resources are created and from which they are accessible via Private IP. This will be the same value as the parent cluster's network. It is specified in the form: // `projects/{project_number}/global/networks/{network_id}`.
`allocatedIpRangeOverride`	`string` Optional. Name of the allocated IP range for the private IP AlloyDB instance, for example: "google-managed-services-default". If set, the instance IPs will be created from this allocated range and will override the IP range used by the parent cluster. The range name must comply with RFC 1035. Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression a-z?.

AuthorizedNetwork

JSON representation
{ "cidrRange": string }

Fields

Fields
`cidrRange`	`string` CIDR range for one authorzied network of the instance.

cidrRange

string

CIDR range for one authorzied network of the instance.
