public InstanceName(string projectId, string locationId, string clusterId, string instanceId)
Constructs a new instance of a InstanceName class from the component parts of pattern
projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster}/instances/{instance}
Formats the IDs into the string representation of this InstanceName with pattern
projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster}/instances/{instance}.
Formats the IDs into the string representation of this InstanceName with pattern
projects/{project}/locations/{location}/clusters/{cluster}/instances/{instance}.
If true will successfully store an unparseable resource name into the UnparsedResource
property; otherwise will throw an ArgumentException if an unparseable resource name is
specified.
If true will successfully store an unparseable resource name into the UnparsedResource
