gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots describe

NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots describe displays all data associated with a Compute Engine instant snapshot in a project.

EXAMPLES

To describe the instant snapshot 'instant-snapshot-1' in zone 'us-east1-a', run:

gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots describe instant-snapshot-1 --zone=us-east1-a

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME

Name of the instant snapshot to describe.

FLAGS

At most one of these can be specified:

--region=REGION

Region of the instant snapshot to describe. 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 snapshot to describe. 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:
