gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots delete

NAME

gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots delete - delete a Compute Engine instant snapshot

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots delete INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME [INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME …] [--region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots delete deletes a Compute Engine instant snapshot. A disk can be deleted only if it is not attached to any virtual machine instances.

EXAMPLES

To delete Compute Engine instant snapshots with the names 'instant-snapshot-1' and 'instant-snapshot-2', run:

gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots delete instant-snapshot-1 instant-snapshot-2

To list all instant snapshots that were created before a specific date, use the --filter flag with the gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots list command.

gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots list --filter="creationTimestamp<'2017-01-01'"

For more information on how to use --filter with the list command, run $ gcloud topic filters.

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME [INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME …]

Names of the instant snapshots to delete.

FLAGS

At most one of these can be specified:

--region=REGION

Region of the instant snapshots to delete. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instant snapshots to delete. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you 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. These variants are also available:
