gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export

NAME
gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export - export the configuration for a Compute Engine target instance
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export ([TARGET_INSTANCE : --zone=ZONE] --all) [--path=PATH; default="-"] [--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export exports the configuration for a Compute Engine target instance.

Target 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 target instances within the project.

Specifying --path allows you to export the configuration(s) to a local directory.

EXAMPLES
To export the configuration for a target instance, run:
gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export my-target-instance

To export the configuration for a target instance to a file, run:

gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export my-target-instance --path=/path/to/dir/

To export the configuration for a target instance in Terraform HCL format, run:

gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export my-target-instance --resource-format=terraform

To export the configurations for all target instances within a project, run:

gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export --all
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Exactly one of these must be specified:
Target instance resource - Target 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 target_instance on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • set the property core/project;
  • provide the argument --project on the command line.
TARGET_INSTANCE
ID of the target instance or fully qualified identifier for the target instance.

To set the target_instance attribute:

  • provide the argument target_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 target_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.
