To create a disk with a certain image, run:
gdcloud compute disks create example-disk \
--project example-project \
--size 10GB \
--image ubuntu-20.04-server-cloudimg-amd64-1.0 \
--image-project vm-system
To create a blank disk, run:
gdcloud compute disks create example-disk \
--project example-project \
--size 10GB
OPTIONALE FLAGS
--image string The image name for the disk.
The disk will be created from the given image.
If not specified, the created disk will be blank.
To view a list of available image to use, run "gdcloud compute images list".
--image-project string The project of the image for the disk.
If specifying one of our public shared images, "image-project" must be provided.
The public shared image project is "vm-system".
If not specified, but "image" is provided, the current default project will be used.
Only public shared images and images in the same project as the instance are supported.
--size string The size of the disk.
The value must be a whole number followed by a size unit of GB for gigabyte, or TB for terabyte.
For example, "10GB" will produce a 10 gigabyte disk.
The disk size must be a multiple of 1 GB.
If not specified, the minimum disk size of the boot image will be used.
If the minimum disk size is not set in the image, an error will be thrown.
GDCLOUD-WEITE FLAGS
Diese Flags sind für alle Befehle verfügbar: --configuration, --format, --help, --project, --quiet.
