Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Asset Inventory v1 API class Asset.
An asset in Google Cloud. An asset can be any resource in the Google Cloud
resource
hierarchy,
a resource outside the Google Cloud resource hierarchy (such as Google
Kubernetes Engine clusters and objects), or a policy (e.g. IAM policy),
or a relationship (e.g. an INSTANCE_TO_INSTANCEGROUP relationship).
See Supported asset
types
for more information.
The ancestry path of an asset in Google Cloud resource
hierarchy,
represented as a list of relative resource names. An ancestry path starts
with the closest ancestor in the hierarchy and ends at root. If the asset
is a project, folder, or organization, the ancestry path starts from the
asset itself.
A representation of the IAM policy set on a Google Cloud resource.
There can be a maximum of one IAM policy set on any given resource.
In addition, IAM policies inherit their granted access scope from any
policies set on parent resources in the resource hierarchy. Therefore, the
effectively policy is the union of both the policy set on this resource
and each policy set on all of the resource's ancestry resource levels in
the hierarchy. See
this topic
for more information.
DEPRECATED. This field only presents for the purpose of
backward-compatibility. The server will never generate responses with this
field.
The related assets of the asset of one relationship type. One asset
only represents one type of relationship.
