gcloud_alpha_compute_instances_add-labels (1)
NAME
- gcloud alpha compute instances add-labels - add labels to Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances
SYNOPSIS
-
gcloud alpha compute instances add-labels INSTANCE_NAME --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances add-labels adds labels to a
-
$ gcloud alpha compute instances add-labels example-instance \
--labels=k0=v0,k1=v1
will add key-value pairs k0=v0 and k1=v1 to 'example-instance'.
Labels can be used to identify the instance and to filter them as in
- $ gcloud alpha compute instances list --filter='labels.k1:value2'
To list existing labels
-
$ gcloud alpha compute instances describe example-instance \
--format='default(labels)'
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
- INSTANCE_NAME
-
Name of the instance to operate on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
-
- --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
-
A list of labels to add.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
- --zone=ZONE
-
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you may be prompted to
select a zone. gcloud will attempt to identify the zone by searching for
resources in your project. If the zone cannot be determined, you will then be
prompted with all Google Cloud Platform zones.
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: --account, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format, --help, --log-http, --project, --quiet, --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity. Run $ gcloud help for details.
NOTES
This command is currently in ALPHA and may change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the right project, you will have to apply for early access and have your projects registered on the API whitelist to use it. To do so, contact Support at cloud.google.com/support These variants are also available:
- $ gcloud compute instances add-labels $ gcloud beta compute instances add-labels
