Hi Team,

Hope you are doing well !!

Issue summary: Customers see the schedule options available for hourly, daily and for the week, there is no option for a monthly snapshot schedule. Customer has referred to the documentation [1] for more information regarding the snapshot schedule. The customer has the requirement for a monthly snapshot schedule.

Impacted service: GCE

Work/Research done: We have verified that schedule options available for hourly, daily and for the week, there is no option for a monthly snapshot schedule. We have referred to the documentation [1] for more information regarding the snapshot schedule but customer is looking for a snapshot schedule for a monthly basis. However, cx is unable to see the monthly option in schedule frequency.

Next Step: Customers would like to see the feature for Monthly backup for VM instances along with the hourly, daily and weekly. Could you please help the customer to implement the feature in our GCP.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Please do the needful here !

Have a nice day !

This is not only useful for IP addresses, but also for many other resources. I understand that names are currently used as identifiers, so this request is probably not trivial to implement. Maybe distinguishing between a (numeric, automatically generated) identifier and a (textual) label is the way to go?

Is it any hope? We have migrated our IP address to the server with different role, and now the name of this IP address resource doesn't match its role at all. It seems to be trivial enough to momentary reserve static IP address of the old named resource, drop resource, and immediately recreate it with the new name and the old IP address.

This would also improve life when using the Google Deployment Manager (since it otherwise error's out if you've changed a name of an IP)
