gcloud alpha compute instances config export

NAME: gcloud alpha compute instances config export - export the configuration for a Compute Engine instance
SYNOPSIS: gcloud alpha compute instances config export ([INSTANCE : --zone=ZONE] --all) [--path=PATH; default="-"] [--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances config export exports the configuration for a Compute Engine instance.
Instance configurations can be exported in Kubernetes Resource Model (krm) or Terraform HCL formats. The default format is krm.
Specifying --all allows you to export the configurations for all instances within the project.
Specifying --path allows you to export the configuration(s) to a local directory.
EXAMPLES: To export the configuration for an instance, run:
gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance

To export the configuration for an instance to a file, run:
gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance --path=/path/to/dir/

To export the configuration for an instance in Terraform HCL format, run:
gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance --resource-format=terraform

To export the configurations for all instances within a project, run:
gcloud alpha compute instances config export --all
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: Exactly one of these must be specified:

Instance resource - Instance to export the configuration for. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the project attribute:

provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully specified name;

set the property core/project;

provide the argument --project on the command line.

INSTANCE

ID of the instance or fully qualified identifier for the instance.
To set the instance attribute:

provide the argument instance on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--zone=ZONE

The name of the Google Compute Engine zone.
To set the zone attribute:

provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully specified name;

provide the argument --zone on the command line;

set the property compute/zone.

--all

Retrieve all resources within the project. If --path is specified and is a valid directory, resources will be output as individual files based on resource name and scope. If --path is not specified, resources will be streamed to stdout.
FLAGS: --path=PATH; default="-"

Path of the directory or file to output configuration(s). To output configurations to stdout, specify "--path=-".

--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT

Format of the configuration to export. Available configuration formats are Kubernetes Resource Model YAML (krm) or Terraform HCL (terraform). Command defaults to "krm". RESOURCE_FORMAT must be one of: krm, terraform.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS: These flags are available to all commands: --access-token-file, --account, --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
NOTES: This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist.
