If disk contains slashes, the Cloud Life Sciences API assumes that it is
a complete URL for the disk. If disk does not contain slashes, the Cloud
Life Sciences API assumes that the disk is a zonal disk and a URL will be
generated of the form zones/<zone>/disks/<disk>, where <zone> is the
zone in which the instance is allocated. The disk must be ext4 formatted.
If all Mount references to this disk have the read_only flag set to
true, the disk will be attached in read-only mode and can be shared with
other instances. Otherwise, the disk will be available for writing but
cannot be shared.
