--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-labels | Remove all labels. If `--update-labels` is also specified then
`--clear-labels` is applied first.
+
For example, to remove all labels:
+
$ {command} --clear-labels
+
To set the labels to exactly "foo" and "baz":
+
$ {command} --clear-labels --update-labels foo=bar,baz=qux |
--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 |
--deletion-protection | Enables deletion protection for the instance. Use *--deletion-protection* to enable and *--no-deletion-protection* to disable |
--enable-display-device | Enable a display device on VM instances. Use *--enable-display-device* to enable and *--no-enable-display-device* to disable |
--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 |
--min-cpu-platform <PLATFORM> | When specified, the VM will be scheduled on host with specified CPU
architecture or a newer one. To list available CPU platforms in given
zone, run:
+
$ gcloud compute zones describe ZONE --format="value(availableCpuPlatforms)"
+
Default setting is "AUTOMATIC".
+
CPU platform selection is available only in selected zones.
+
You can find more information on-line:
[](https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform) |
--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 |
--remove-labels <KEY> | List of label keys to remove. If a label does not exist it is
silently ignored. If `--update-labels` is also specified then
`--remove-labels` is applied first |
--shielded-integrity-monitoring | Enables monitoring and attestation of the boot integrity of the
instance. The attestation is performed against the integrity policy
baseline. This baseline is initially derived from the implicitly
trusted boot image when the instance is created. This baseline can be
updated by using `--shielded-vm-learn-integrity-policy`. On Shielded
VMs, integrity monitoring is enabled by default. For information about
how to modify Shielded VM options, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm.
Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect
after stopping and starting the instance. Use *--shielded-integrity-monitoring* to enable and *--no-shielded-integrity-monitoring* to disable |
--shielded-learn-integrity-policy | Causes the instance to re-learn the integrity policy baseline using
the current instance configuration. Use this flag after any planned
boot-specific changes in the instance configuration, like kernel
updates or kernel driver installation |
--shielded-secure-boot | The instance boots with secure boot enabled. On Shielded VMs, Secure
Boot is not enabled by default. For information about how to modify
Shielded VM options, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm.
Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect
after stopping and starting the instance. Use *--shielded-secure-boot* to enable and *--no-shielded-secure-boot* to disable |
--shielded-vtpm | The instance boots with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) enabled.
A TPM is a hardware module that can be used for different security
operations such as remote attestation, encryption, and sealing of keys.
On Shielded VMs, vTPM is enabled by default. For information about how
to modify Shielded VM options, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm.
Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect
after stopping and starting the instance. Use *--shielded-vtpm* to enable and *--no-shielded-vtpm* 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 |
--update-labels <KEY=VALUE> | List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to update. If a label exists its value is modified, otherwise a new label is created.
+
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (`-`), underscores (```_```), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (`-`), underscores (```_```), lowercase characters, and numbers |
--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 update. 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'' |
