--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` |
--boot | Attach the disk to the instance as a boot disk |
--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 |
--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 |
--device-name <DEVICE_NAME> | An optional name that indicates the disk name the guest operating system will see. (Note: Device name does not correspond to mounted volume name). Must match the disk name if the disk is going to be mounted to a container with --container-mount-disk (alpha feature) |
--disk <DISK> | The name of the disk to attach to the instance |
--disk-scope <DISK_SCOPE> | The scope of the disk. _DISK_SCOPE_ must be one of:
+
*regional*::: The disk specified in --disk is interpreted as a regional disk in the same region as the instance. Ignored if a full URI is provided to the `--disk` flag.
*zonal*::: The disk specified in --disk is interpreted as a zonal disk in the same zone as the instance. Ignored if a full URI is provided to the `--disk` flag.
:::
+ |
--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* |
--force-attach | Attach the disk to the instance even if it is currently attached to another
instance. The attachment will succeed even if detaching from the previous
instance fails at first. The server will continue trying to detach the disk from
the previous instance in the background |
--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 |
--log-http | Log all HTTP server requests and responses to stderr. Overrides the default *core/log_http* property value for this command invocation |
--mode <MODE> | Specifies the mode of the disk. _MODE_ must be one of:
+
*ro*::: Read-only.
*rw*::: Read-write. It is an error to attach a disk in read-write mode to more than one instance. For details on how to share persistent disks between multiple instances, refer to https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/add-persistent-disk#use_multi_instances
:::
+ |
--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 |
--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 instance to operate on. If not specified, the user may be prompted to select a zone. `gcloud` will
attempt to identify the zone by searching for resources in the user's project.
If the zone cannot be determined, the user will then be prompted with all Google
Cloud Platform zones.
+
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
``compute/zone'' property:
+
$ 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'' |
