gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata

NAME: gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata - patch partner metadata
SYNOPSIS: gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata INSTANCE_NAME [--partner-metadata=[NAMESPACE/KEY=VALUE,…]] [--partner-metadata-from-file=LOCAL_FILE_PATH] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION: (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata can be used to patch partner metadata of a virtual machine instance. Every instance has access to a metadata server that can be used to query partner metadata that has been set through this tool. For information on metadata, see About VM metadata.
Only namespaces keys that are provided are mutated. Existing Namespaces entries will remain unaffected.
In order to retrieve partner metadata, run:
gcloud compute instances describe example-instance --zone us-central1-a --view=FULL --format="value(partnerMetadata)"

where example-instance is the name of the virtual machine instance you're querying partner metadata from.
EXAMPLES: To add partner metadata under namespace test.compute.googleapis.com to instance TEST_INSTANCE run:
gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata TEST_INSTANCE --partner-metadata=test.compute.googleapis.com/entries/engine="{ "engine": { "type": V8 } }"

To add partner metadata from a file:
gcloud alpha compute instances patch-partner-metadata TEST_INSTANCE --partner-metadata-from-file=examples/engine.json
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to set partner metadata on. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
FLAGS: --partner-metadata=[NAMESPACE/KEY=VALUE,…]

Partner metadata specifying namespace and its entries. The entries can be key-value pairs or in json format.

--partner-metadata-from-file=LOCAL_FILE_PATH

Path to a local json file containing partner metadata. Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of partner_metadata.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instance to set partner metadata on. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud prompts you for a selection with all available 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.
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. This variant is also available:
