The links below are grouped according to the API status that reflects the
state of the endpoint on the service.
* 'Current' indicates a stable version that is up-to-date, recent, and
might receive future versions. This endpoint should be prioritized over
all others.
* 'Supported' is a stable version that is available on the server.
However, it is not likely the most recent available and might not be
updated or might be deprecated at some time in the future.
* 'Deprecated' is a stable version that is still available but is being
deprecated and might be removed in the future.
* 'Experimental' is not a stable version. This version is under
development or contains features that are otherwise subject to change.
For more information about API status values and version information, see

The notation '(microversions)' next to the link to an API reference
indicates that the API follows a `pattern established by the Compute
service
