Authorization requires the following IAM permission on the specified resource name:

  • alloydb.clusters.switchover

Request body

The request body contains data with the following structure:

JSON representation
{
  "requestId": string,
  "validateOnly": boolean
}
Fields
requestId

string

Optional. An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60 minutes after the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

validateOnly

boolean

Optional. If set, performs request validation (e.g. permission checks and any other type of validation), but do not actually execute the delete.

Response body

If successful, the response body contains an instance of Operation.

Authorization scopes
