--metadata stringToString List of comma-separated key-value pair metadata to add to the virtual machine instance.
For example, --metadata=key1="val1",key2="val2". At least one of the flags --metadata or --metadata-from-file is required. (default [])
--metadata-from-file stringToString List of comma-separated KEY=LOCAL_FILE_PATH metadata to add to the virtual machine instance. The value of the key is read from the file provided.
For example, --metadata-from-file=key1=filepath1,key2=filepath2. At least one of the flags --metadata or --metadata-from-file is required. (default [])
