- DESCRIPTION
- Update a Compute Engine virtual machine instance using a configuration file. For more information, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/update-instance-properties.
- EXAMPLES
-
A virtual machine instance can be updated by running:
gcloud compute instances update-from-file my-instance --source=<path-to-file>
- POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
INSTANCE_NAME
- Name of the instance to update. 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
-
--minimal-action
=MINIMAL_ACTION
- If specified, this action or higher level action is performed on the instance irrespective of what action is required for the update to take effect. If not specified, then Compute Engine acts based on the minimum action required.
--most-disruptive-allowed-action
=MOST_DISRUPTIVE_ALLOWED_ACTION
- If specified, Compute Engine returns an error if the update requires a higher action to be applied to the instance. If not specified, the default will be REFRESH.
--source
=SOURCE
-
Path to a YAML file containing configuration export data. Alternatively, you may
omit this flag to read from standard input.For a schema describing the
export/import format, see:
$CLOUDSDKROOT/lib/googlecloudsdk/schemas/compute/v1/Instance.yaml.
Note: $CLOUDSDKROOT represents the Google Cloud CLI's installation directory.
--zone
=ZONE
-
Zone of the instance to update. 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
property:compute/zone
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
