gcloud config

NAME
gcloud config - view and edit Google Cloud CLI properties
SYNOPSIS
gcloud config GROUP | COMMAND [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
The gcloud config command group lets you set, view and unset properties used by Google Cloud CLI.

A configuration is a set of properties that govern the behavior of gcloud and other Google Cloud CLI tools. The initial default configuration is set when gcloud init is run. You can create additional named configurations using gcloud init or gcloud config configurations create.

To display the path of the active configuration along with information about the current gcloud environment, run $ gcloud info.

To switch between configurations, use gcloud config configurations activate.

gcloud supports several flags that have the same effect as properties in a configuration (for example, gcloud supports both the --project flag and project property). Properties differ from flags in that flags affect command behavior on a per-invocation basis. Properties allow you to maintain the same settings across command executions.

In addition to setting properties in a configuration, and the use of flags, it is possible to override the value of a property with an environment variable. The matching environment variable for a property is of the form 'CLOUDSDK_CATEGORY_PROPERTY'. For example, to demonstrate overriding the project property in the core category to my-project, use a command like: 

CLOUDSDK_CORE_PROJECT=my-project gcloud config get core/project

For more information on configurations, see gcloud topic configurations.

GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --help.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

GROUPS
GROUP is one of the following:
configurations
Manage the set of gcloud named configurations.
COMMANDS
COMMAND is one of the following:
get
Print the value of a Google Cloud CLI property.
list
List Google Cloud CLI properties for the currently active configuration.
set
Set a Google Cloud CLI property.
unset
Unset a Google Cloud CLI property.
AVAILABLE PROPERTIES
core
account
Account gcloud should use for authentication. Run gcloud auth list to see your currently available accounts.
console_log_format
Control the format used to display log messages to the console.

Valid values are:

  • standard - Simplified log messages are displayed on the console.
  • detailed - More detailed messages are displayed on the console.

If unset, default is standard.

custom_ca_certs_file
Absolute path to a custom CA cert file.
default_format
Sets the default format for printing command resources. core/default_format overrides the default yaml format. If the command contains a command-specific output format, it takes precedence over the core/default_format value. Use --verbosity=debug flag to view the command-specific format. Both core/format and --format also take precedence over core/default_format. The supported formats are limited to: config, default, disable, flattened, json, list, none, object, text. For more details run $ gcloud topic formats. Run $ gcloud config set --help to see more information about core/default_format
default_regional_backend_service
If True, backend services in gcloud compute backend-services will be regional by default. Setting the --global flag is required for global backend services.
disable_color
If True, color will not be used when printing messages in the terminal.
disable_file_logging
If True, gcloud will not store logs to a file. This may be useful if disk space is limited.
disable_prompts
If True, the default answer will be assumed for all user prompts. However, for any prompts that require user input, an error will be raised. This is equivalent to either using the global --quiet flag or setting the environment variable CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS to 1. Setting this property is useful when scripting with gcloud.
disable_usage_reporting
If True, anonymous statistics on SDK usage will not be collected. This value is set by your choices during installation, but can be changed at any time. For more information, see Usage statistics.
enable_feature_flags
If True, remote config-file driven feature flags will be enabled.
format
Sets the format for printing all command resources. This overrides the default command-specific human-friendly output format. Use --verbosity=debug flag to view the command-specific format. If both core/default_format and core/format are specified, core/format takes precedence. If both core/format and --format are specified, --format takes precedence. The supported formats are limited to: config, default, disable, flattened, json, list, none, object, text. For more details run $ gcloud topic formats. Run $ gcloud config set --help to see more information about core/format
log_http
If True, log HTTP requests and responses to the logs. To see logs in the terminal, adjust verbosity settings. Otherwise, logs are available in their respective log files.
max_log_days
Maximum number of days to retain log files before deleting. If set to 0, turns off log garbage collection and does not delete log files. If unset, the default is 30 days.
parse_error_details
If True, gcloud will attempt to parse and interpret error details in API originating errors. If False, gcloud will write flush error details as is to stderr/log.
pass_credentials_to_gsutil
If True, pass the configured Google Cloud CLI authentication to gsutil.
project
Project ID of the Cloud Platform project to operate on by default. This can be overridden by using the global --project flag.
show_structured_logs
Control when JSON-structured log messages for the current verbosity level (and above) will be written to standard error. If this property is disabled, logs are formatted as text by default.

Valid values are:

  • never - Log messages as text
  • always - Always log messages as JSON
  • log - Only log messages as JSON if stderr is a file
  • terminal - Only log messages as JSON if stderr is a terminal

If unset, default is never.

trace_token
Token used to route traces of service requests for investigation of issues. This token will be provided by Google support.
user_output_enabled
True, by default. If False, messages to the user and command output on both standard output and standard error will be suppressed.
verbosity
Default logging verbosity for gcloud commands. This is the equivalent of using the global --verbosity flag. Supported verbosity levels: debug, info, warning, error, critical, and none.
accessibility
screen_reader
Make gcloud more screen reader friendly.
ai
region
Default region to use when working with AI Platform resources. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
ai_platform
region
Default region to use when working with AI Platform Training and Prediction resources (currently for Prediction only). It is ignored for training resources for now. The value should be either global or one of the supported regions. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.

app
cloud_build_timeout
Timeout, in seconds, to wait for Docker builds to complete during deployments. All Docker builds now use the Cloud Build API.
promote_by_default
If True, when deploying a new version of a service, that version will be promoted to receive all traffic for the service. This property can be overridden with the --promote-by-default or --no-promote-by-default flags.
stop_previous_version
If True, when deploying a new version of a service, the previously deployed version is stopped. If False, older versions must be stopped manually.
use_runtime_builders
If set, opt in/out to a new code path for building applications using pre-fabricated runtimes that can be updated independently of client tooling. If not set, the default path for each runtime is used.
artifacts
location
Default location to use when working with Artifact Registry resources. When a location value is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set. If this value is unset, the default location is global when location value is optional.
repository
Default repository to use when working with Artifact Registry resources. When a repository value is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
auth
access_token_file
A file path to read the access token. Use this property to authenticate gcloud with an access token. The credentials of the active account (if it exists) will be ignored. The file should contain an access token with no other information.
disable_credentials
If True, gcloud will not attempt to load any credentials or authenticate any requests. This is useful when behind a proxy that adds authentication to requests.
impersonate_service_account
While set, all API requests will be made as the given service account or target service account in an impersonation delegation chain instead of the currently selected account. You can specify either a single service account as the impersonator, or a comma-separated list of service accounts to create an impersonation delegation chain. This is done without needing to create, download, or activate a key for the service account or accounts.

In order to make API requests as a service account, your currently selected account must have an IAM role that includes the iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission for the service account or accounts.

The roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role has the iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission. You can also create a custom role.

You can specify a list of service accounts, separated with commas. This creates an impersonation delegation chain in which each service account delegates its permissions to the next service account in the chain. Each service account in the list must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on the next service account in the list. For example, when the property is set through gcloud config set auth/impersonate_service_account= SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1,SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2, the active account must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1, which must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2. SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1 is the impersonated service account and SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2 is the delegate.

login_config_file
Sets the created login configuration file in auth/login_config_file. Calling gcloud auth login will automatically use this login configuration unless it is explicitly unset.
service_account_disable_id_token_refresh
If True, disable ID token refresh for service account.
service_account_use_self_signed_jwt
If True, use self signed jwt flow to get service account credentials access token. This only applies to service account json file and not to the legacy .p12 file.
token_host
Overrides the token endpoint to provision access tokens. It can be used with Private Service Connect.

This default bills and charges quota against the current project. If you need to operate on one project, but need to bill your usage against or use quota from a different project, you can use this flag to specify the billing project. If both billing/quota_project and --billing-project are specified, --billing-project takes precedence.

compute
image_family_scope
Sets how images are selected with image families for disk and instance creation. By default, zonal image resources are used when using an image family in a public image project, and global image resources are used for all other projects. To override the default behavior, set this property to zonal or global.
region
Default region to use when working with regional Compute Engine resources. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set. To see valid choices, run gcloud compute regions list.

  • developer - The developer tier provides limited scalability and no fault tolerance. Good for low-cost proof-of-concept.
  • enterprise - The enterprise tier provides multi-zone high availability, and sufficient scalability for enterprise-level Dataproc Metastore workloads.
ml_engine

Full path to the Python interpreter to use for Cloud ML Engine local predict/train jobs. If not specified, the default path is the one to the Python interpreter found on system PATH.
polling_interval
Interval (in seconds) at which to poll logs from your Cloud ML Engine jobs. Note that making it much faster than the default (60) will quickly use all of your quota.
mps

netapp
location
Default location to use when working with Cloud NetApp Files resources. When a location value is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.

parent
Default parent gcloud should use for scc surface.
secrets
locations
A comma separated list of the locations to replicate secrets to. Only applies to secrets with a user-managed policy.
replication-policy
The type of replication policy to apply to secrets. Allowed values are "automatic" and "user-managed". If user-managed then locations must also be provided.
spanner
instance
Default instance to use when working with Cloud Spanner resources. When an instance is required but not provided by a flag, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
ssh
putty_force_connect
Whether or not gcloud should automatically accept new or changed host keys when executing plink/pscp commands on Windows. Defaults to True, but can be set to False to present these interactive prompts to the user for host key checking.
verify_internal_ip
Whether or not gcloud should perform an initial SSH connection to verify an instance ID is correct when connecting via its internal IP. Without this check, gcloud will simply connect to the internal IP of the desired instance, which may be wrong if the desired instance is in a different subnet but happens to share the same internal IP as an instance in the current subnet. Defaults to True.
storage
additional_headers
Includes arbitrary headers in storage API calls. Accepts a comma separated list of key=value pairs, e.g. header1=value1,header2=value2.
base_retry_delay
Second delay between retrying operations. May be multiplied by exponential_sleep_multiplier.
check_hashes
'check_hashes' specifies how strictly to require integrity checking for downloaded data. Legal values are:
  • 'if_fast_else_fail' - (default) Only integrity check if the digest will run efficiently (using compiled code), else fail the download.
  • 'if_fast_else_skip' - Only integrity check if the server supplies a hash and the local digest computation will run quickly, else skip the check.
  • 'always' - Always check download integrity regardless of possible performance costs.
  • 'never' - Don't perform download integrity checks. This setting is not recommended except for special cases such as measuring download performance excluding time for integrity checking.

This option exists to assist users who wish to download a composite object and are unable to install crcmod with the C-extension. CRC32c is the only available integrity check for composite objects, and without the C-extension, download performance can be significantly degraded by the digest computation. This option is ignored for daisy-chain copies, which don't compute hashes but instead (inexpensively) compare the cloud source and destination hashes.

check_mv_early_deletion_fee
Block mv commands that may incur an early deletion fee (the source object in a mv is deleted).
convert_incompatible_windows_path_characters
Allows automatic conversion of invalid path characters on Windows. If not enabled, Windows will raise an OSError if an invalid character is encountered.
copy_chunk_size
Chunk size used for copying to in clouds or on disk.
download_chunk_size
Chunk size used for downloadinging to clouds.
exponential_sleep_multiplier
Used in exponential backoff for retrying operations.
key_store_path
Path to a yaml file containing an encryption key, and multiple decryption keys for use in storage commands. The file must be formatted as follows: 
encryption_key: {A customer-supplied or customer-managed key.}
decryption_keys:
- {A customer-supplied key}
…

Customer-supplied encryption keys must be RFC 4648 section 4 base64-encoded AES256 strings. Customer-managed encryption keys must be of the form projects/{project}/locations/{location}/keyRings/{key-ring}/cryptoKeys/{crypto-key}.

max_retries
Max number of retries for operations like copy.
max_retry_delay
Max second delay between retriable operations.
multipart_chunksize
Specifies partition size in bytes of each part of a multipart upload made by the Boto3 client. To calculate the maximum size of a Boto3 client multipart upload, multiply the multipart_chunk value by the maximum number of parts the API allows. For AWS S3 this limit is 10000. Values can be provided either in bytes or as human-readable values (e.g., "150M" to represent 150 mebibytes).
multipart_threshold
Files larger than this threshold will be partitioned into parts, uploaded separately by the Boto3 client, and then combined into a single object. Otherwise, files smaller than this threshold will be uploaded by the Boto3 client in a single stream.
parallel_composite_upload_compatibility_check
Determines if the GET bucket call should be performed to check if the default storage class and retention period for the destination bucket meet the criteria for parallel composite upload.
parallel_composite_upload_component_prefix
The prefix used when naming temporary components created by composite uploads. If the prefix begins with a /, the temporary components are uploaded relative to the bucket name. If the prefix does not begin with a /, the temporary components are uploaded relative to the prefix portion of the destination object name. For example, consider an upload that will create a final object named gs://bucket/dir1/dir2/object. Using a prefix of /prefix means temporary components use names like gs://bucket/prefix/COMPONENT_NAME. Using a prefix of prefix means temporary components use names like gs://bucket/dir1/dir2/prefix/COMPONENT_NAME. Note that this can complicate cleaning up temporary components, as they will not all share a common prefix. If this property is not specified, gcloud storage uses the prefix /gcloud/tmp/parallel_composite_uploads/see_gcloud_storage_cp_help_for_details/. If a chosen prefix results in temporary component names longer than the maximum length Cloud Storage allows, gcloud storage performs a non-composite upload.
parallel_composite_upload_component_size
Specifies the ideal size of a component in bytes, which will act as an upper bound to the size of the components if ceil(file_size / parallel_composite_upload_component_size) is less than the maximum number of objects the API allows composing at once. Values can be provided either in bytes or as human-readable values (e.g., "150M" to represent 150 mebibytes).
parallel_composite_upload_enabled
Determines whether parallel composite upload should be used. Default value is None which will use parallel composite upload and log an appropriate warning for the user explaining that parallel composite upload is being used by default.
parallel_composite_upload_threshold
Specifies the maximum size of a file to upload in a single stream. Files larger than this threshold will be partitioned into component parts, uploaded in parallel, then composed into a single object. The number of components will be the smaller of ceil(file_size / parallel_composite_upload_component_size) and the maximum number of objects the API allows composing at once. For Cloud Storage this limit is 32. This property has no effect if parallel_composite_upload_enabled is set to False.
process_count
The maximum number of processes parallel execution should use. When process_count and thread_count are both 1, commands use sequential execution.
resumable_threshold
File operations above this size in bytes will use resumable instead of one-shot strategies. For example, a resumable download.
rsync_files_directory
Directory path to intermediary files created by rsync.
rsync_list_chunk_size
Number of files processed at a time by the rsync command when it builds and compares the list of files at the source and destination.
s3_endpoint_url
If set, boto3 client will connect to this endpoint. Otherwise, boto3 selects a default endpoint based on the AWS service used.
sliced_object_download_component_size
Target size and upper bound for files to be sliced into. Analogous to parallel_composite_upload_component_size.
sliced_object_download_max_components
Specifies the maximum number of slices to be used when performing a sliced object download. Set None for automatic optimization based on system resources.
sliced_object_download_threshold
Slice files larger than this value. Zero will block sliced downloads. Analogous to parallel_composite_upload_threshold.
suggest_transfer
If True, logs messages about when Storage Transfer Service might be a better tool than gcloud storage.
thread_count
The number of threads parallel execution should use per process. When process_count and thread_count are both 1, commands use sequential execution.
tracker_files_directory
Directory path to tracker files for resumable operations.
upload_chunk_size
Chunk size used for uploading to clouds.
use_gcloud_crc32c
If True, data integrity checks use a binary subprocess to calculate CRC32C hashes with the included gcloud-crc32c tool rather than the google-crc32c Python library. This behavior is also triggered when the google-crc32c Python library is unavailable even if this property is False.
use_gsutil
If True, use the deprecated upload implementation which uses gsutil.
use_magicfile
If True, uses the file --mime <filename> command to guess content types instead of the default filename extension-based mechanism. Available on UNIX and macOS (and possibly on Windows, if you're running Cygwin or some other package that provides implementations of UNIX-like commands). When available and enabled use_magicfile should be more robust because it analyzes file contents in addition to extensions.
use_threading_local
If True, reuses some resource if they are already declared on a thread. If False, creates duplicates of resources like API clients on the same thread. Turning off can help with some bugs but will hurt performance.
survey
disable_prompts
If True, gcloud will not prompt you to take periodic usage experience surveys.
vmware
region
Default region to use when working with VMware Engine resources. When a --region flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
workstations
cluster
Default cluster to use when working with Workstations resources. When a --cluster flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
config
Default configuration to use when working with Workstations resources. When a --config flag is required but not provided, the command will fall back to this value, if set.
