--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` |
--clear-min-node-cpu | Removes the min-node-cpu field from the instance. If specified, the
instance min-node-cpu will be cleared. The instance will not be
overcommitted and utilize the full CPU count assigned |
--clear-node-affinities | Removes the node affinities field from the instance. If specified,
the instance node settings will be cleared. The instance will not be
scheduled onto a sole-tenant node |
--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 |
--log-http | Log all HTTP server requests and responses to stderr. Overrides the default *core/log_http* property value for this command invocation |
--maintenance-policy <MAINTENANCE_POLICY> | Specifies the behavior of the instances when their host machines undergo maintenance. The default is MIGRATE. _MAINTENANCE_POLICY_ must be one of:
+
*MIGRATE*::: The instances should be migrated to a new host. This will temporarily impact the performance of instances during a migration event.
*TERMINATE*::: The instances should be terminated.
:::
+ |
--min-node-cpu <MIN_NODE_CPU> | Minimum number of virtual CPUs this instance will consume when running on
a sole-tenant node |
--node <NODE> | The name of the node to schedule this instance on |
--node-affinity-file <NODE_AFFINITY_FILE> | The JSON/YAML file containing the configuration of desired nodes onto
which this instance could be scheduled. These rules filter the nodes
according to their node affinity labels. A node's affinity labels come
from the node template of the group the node is in.
+
The file should contain a list of a JSON/YAML objects with the
following fields:
+
*key*::: Corresponds to the node affinity label keys of
the Node resource.
*operator*::: Specifies the node selection type. Must be one of:
`IN`: Requires Compute Engine to seek for matched nodes.
`NOT_IN`: Requires Compute Engine to avoid certain nodes.
*values*::: Optional. A list of values which correspond to the node
affinity label values of the Node resource |
--node-group <NODE_GROUP> | The name of the node group to schedule this instance on |
--preemptible | If provided, instances will be preemptible and time-limited.
Instances may be preempted to free up resources for standard VM instances,
and will only be able to run for a limited amount of time. Preemptible
instances can not be restarted and will not migrate |
--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 |
--restart-on-failure | The instances will be restarted if they are terminated by Compute
Engine. This does not affect terminations performed by the user.
This option is mutually exclusive with --preemptible. Use *--restart-on-failure* to enable and *--no-restart-on-failure* to disable |
--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'' |
