POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to operate on.

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.

At most one of these may be specified:

--scopes=[SCOPE,...]

If not provided, the instance will keep the scopes it currently has.
SCOPE can be either the full URI of the scope or an alias. default scopes are assigned to all instances. Available aliases are:

DEPRECATION WARNING: www.googleapis.com/auth/sqlservice account scope and sql alias do not provide SQL instance management capabilities and have been deprecated. Please, use www.googleapis.com/auth/sqlservice.admin or sql-admin to manage your Google SQL Service instances.

--no-scopes

Remove all scopes from the instance

At most one of these may be specified:

--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT

A service account is an identity attached to the instance. Its access tokens can be accessed through the instance metadata server and are used to authenticate applications on the instance. The account can be set using an email address corresponding to the required service account. You can explicitly specify the Compute Engine default service account using the 'default' alias.
If not provided, the instance will keep the service account it currently has.

--no-service-account

Remove service account from the instance
