Technical Docs

VM Service Documentation

This portal documents the current API surface for provisioning and operating virtual machines. It is structured as technical guides first, with the generated OpenAPI reference available as a second layer when you need exact request and response details.

What this portal covers

The authored pages focus on the VM lifecycle: create a project, inspect provisioning options, create a VM, establish access, connect networking, and recover from backups. The generated API Reference remains the source for complete schemas, parameters, and per-endpoint status codes.

Recommended reading order

  • Start with Quickstart for the shortest working path.

  • Read Authentication before wiring the API into a client.

  • Use Platform Model and Networking to understand resource boundaries.

  • Move to the guide pages when you need a concrete workflow, then open the generated reference for payload details.

Current documentation scope

Billing flows are intentionally excluded from this documentation layer. The remaining balance endpoint stays available in the generated API Reference as a technical resource, but it is not part of the main provisioning guides.
