INSTANCE_NAMES
[INSTANCE_NAMES
…]- Names of the instances to operate on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
- FLAGS
-
--async
- Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
--csek-key-file
=FILE
-
Path to a Customer-Supplied Encryption Key (CSEK) key file that maps Compute
Engine resources to user managed keys to be used when creating, mounting, or
taking snapshots of disks.
If you pass
-
as value of the flag, the CSEK is read from stdin. See https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/customer-supplied-encryption for more details. --zone
=ZONE
-
Zone of the instances to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only).
gcloud
attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined,gcloud
prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
property:compute/zone
gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones list
To unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zone
Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
