POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANCE_NAMES [INSTANCE_NAMES ...]

Names of the instances to operate on.

FLAGS

--async

Display information about the operation in progress, without waiting for the operation to complete.

--csek-key-file=FILE

Path to a Customer-Supplied Encryption Key (CSEK) key file, mapping Google Compute Engine resources to user managed keys to be used when creating, mounting, or snapshotting disks.
If you pass - as value of the flag the CSEK will be read from stdin. See cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/customer-supplied-encryption for more details.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instances 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.
