# Resources

**Caution:** This is a **deprecated** version of the Deployment Manager API. Please use the [latest API version](https://docs.cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/latest) instead. A resource represents a single Google Cloud Platform entity, such as a Compute Engine instance, a BigQuery dataset, and so on. You define a list of resources in your configuration file, which is then deployed using the Deployment Manager service.

For a list of [methods](https://docs.cloud.google.com/deployment-manager/v2beta2/resources#methods) for this resource, see the end of this page.
