backend-services
Read and manipulate backend services for load balancers.
backends
Read and manipulate the backends. A backend is a zonal object that identifies endpoints for a load balancer.
disks
Read and manipulate GDC air-gapped virtual machine disks.
forwarding-rules
Read and manipulate traffic forwarding rules for load balancers.
health-checks
Probe to attach to a backend service to check the health status of an individual endpoint.
images
Read GDC air-gapped virtual machine images.
instances
Read and manipulate GDC air-gapped virtual machine instances.
machine-types
Read GDC air-gapped virtual machine types.
COMMANDS
COMMAND is one of the following:
connect-to-serial-port
Connect to the serial port of a GDC air-gapped virtual machine.
ssh
SSH to a GDC air-gapped virtual machine.
