gcloud_alpha_compute_instances_add-tags (1)
NAME
- gcloud alpha compute instances add-tags - add tags to Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances
SYNOPSIS
-
gcloud alpha compute instances add-tags INSTANCE_NAME --tags=TAG,[TAG,...] [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instances add-tags is used to add tags
-
$ gcloud alpha compute instances add-tags example-instance \
--tags tag-1,tag-2
will add tags tag-1 and tag-2 to 'example-instance'.
Tags can be used to identify the instances when adding network firewall rules. Tags can also be used to get firewall rules that already exist to be applied to the instance. See gcloud compute firewall-rules create(1) for more details.
To list instances with their respective status and tags, run:
-
$ gcloud compute instances list \
--format='table(name,status,tags.list())'
To list instances tagged with a specific tag, tag1, run:
- $ gcloud compute instances list --filter='tags:tag1'
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
- INSTANCE_NAME
-
Name of the instance to set tags on.
REQUIRED FLAGS
-
- --tags=TAG,[TAG,...]
-
Specifies strings to be attached to the instance for later identifying the
instance when adding network firewall rules. Multiple tags can be attached by
repeating this flag.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
- --zone=ZONE
-
Zone of the instance to set tags 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.
