--account <ACCOUNT> | Google Cloud Platform user account to use for invocation. Overrides the default *core/account* property value for this command invocation |
--billing-project <BILLING_PROJECT> | The Google Cloud Platform project that will be charged quota for operations performed in gcloud. If you need to operate on one project, but need quota against a different project, you can use this flag to specify the billing project. If both `billing/quota_project` and `--billing-project` are specified, `--billing-project` takes precedence. Run `$ gcloud config set --help` to see more information about `billing/quota_project` |
--configuration <CONFIGURATION> | The configuration to use for this command invocation. For more
information on how to use configurations, run:
`gcloud topic configurations`. You can also use the CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME environment
variable to set the equivalent of this flag for a terminal
session |
--flags-file <YAML_FILE> | A YAML or JSON file that specifies a *--flag*:*value* dictionary.
Useful for specifying complex flag values with special characters
that work with any command interpreter. Additionally, each
*--flags-file* arg is replaced by its constituent flags. See
$ gcloud topic flags-file for more information |
--flatten <KEY> | Flatten _name_[] output resource slices in _KEY_ into separate records
for each item in each slice. Multiple keys and slices may be specified.
This also flattens keys for *--format* and *--filter*. For example,
*--flatten=abc.def* flattens *abc.def[].ghi* references to
*abc.def.ghi*. A resource record containing *abc.def[]* with N elements
will expand to N records in the flattened output. This flag interacts
with other flags that are applied in this order: *--flatten*,
*--sort-by*, *--filter*, *--limit* |
--format <FORMAT> | Set the format for printing command output resources. The default is a
command-specific human-friendly output format. The supported formats
are: `config`, `csv`, `default`, `diff`, `disable`, `flattened`, `get`, `json`, `list`, `multi`, `none`, `object`, `table`, `text`, `value`, `yaml`. For more details run $ gcloud topic formats |
--help | Display detailed help |
--impersonate-service-account <SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAIL> | For this gcloud invocation, all API requests will be made as the given service account instead of the currently selected account. This is done without needing to create, download, and activate a key for the account. In order to perform operations as the service account, your currently selected account must have an IAM role that includes the iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission for the service account. The roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role has this permission or you may create a custom role. Overrides the default *auth/impersonate_service_account* property value for this command invocation |
--instance <INSTANCE> | Name of the new instance to create |
--log-http | Log all HTTP server requests and responses to stderr. Overrides the default *core/log_http* property value for this command invocation |
--project <PROJECT_ID> | The Google Cloud Platform project ID to use for this invocation. If
omitted, then the current project is assumed; the current project can
be listed using `gcloud config list --format='text(core.project)'`
and can be set using `gcloud config set project PROJECTID`.
+
`--project` and its fallback `core/project` property play two roles
in the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to
operate on. It also specifies the project for API enablement check,
quota, and billing. To specify a different project for quota and
billing, use `--billing-project` or `billing/quota_project` property |
--quiet | Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input
is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.
Overrides the default core/disable_prompts property value for this
command invocation. This is equivalent to setting the environment
variable `CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS` to 1 |
--region <REGION> | Region of the managed instance group to create instance in. If not specified, you may be prompted to select a region.
+
A list of regions can be fetched by running:
+
$ gcloud compute regions list
+
Overrides the default *compute/region* property value for this command invocation |
--stateful-disk <STATEFUL_DISK> | Disks considered stateful by the instance group. Managed instance groups
preserve and reattach stateful disks on VM autohealing, update, and
recreate events.
+
You can also attach and preserve disks, not defined in the group's
instance template, to a given instance.
+
The same disk can be attached to more than one instance but only in
read-only mode |
--stateful-metadata <KEY=VALUE> | Additional metadata to be made available to the guest operating system
in addition to the metadata defined in the instance template.
+
Stateful metadata may be used to define a key/value pair specific for
the one given instance to differentiate it from the other instances in
the managed instance group.
+
Stateful metadata key/value pairs are preserved on instance recreation,
autohealing, updates, and any other lifecycle transitions of the
instance.
+
Stateful metadata have priority over the metadata defined in the
instance template. This means that stateful metadata that is defined for a
key that already exists in the instance template overrides the instance
template value.
+
Each metadata entry is a key/value pair separated by an equals sign.
Metadata keys must be unique and less than 128 bytes in length. Multiple
entries can be passed to this flag, e.g.,
``--stateful-metadata key-1=value-1,key-2=value-2,key-3=value-3'' |
--trace-token <TRACE_TOKEN> | Token used to route traces of service requests for investigation of issues. Overrides the default *core/trace_token* property value for this command invocation |
--user-output-enabled | Print user intended output to the console. Overrides the default *core/user_output_enabled* property value for this command invocation. Use *--no-user-output-enabled* to disable |
--verbosity <VERBOSITY> | Override the default verbosity for this command. Overrides the default *core/verbosity* property value for this command invocation. _VERBOSITY_ must be one of: *debug*, *info*, *warning*, *error*, *critical*, *none* |
--zone <ZONE> | Zone of the managed instance group to create instance in. If not specified, you may be prompted to select a zone.
+
A list of zones can be fetched by running:
+
$ gcloud compute zones list
+
Overrides the default *compute/zone* property value for this command invocation |
