NAME
- gcloud beta compute project-info add-metadata - add or update project-wide metadata
SYNOPSIS
-
gcloud beta compute project-info add-metadata [--metadata=KEY=VALUE,[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--metadata-from-file=KEY=LOCAL_FILE_PATH,[...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA) gcloud beta compute project-info add-metadata can be used
Only metadata keys that are provided are mutated. Existing metadata entries will remain unaffected.
If you are using this command to manage SSH keys for your project, please note the risks (cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys#risks of manual SSH key management as well as the required format for SSH key metadata, available at cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys
FLAGS
-
- --metadata=KEY=VALUE,[KEY=VALUE,...]
-
Metadata to be made available to the guest operating system running on the
instances. Each metadata entry is a key/value pair separated by an equals sign.
Metadata keys must be unique and less than 128 bytes in length. Values must be
less than or equal to 32,768 bytes in length. Multiple arguments can be passed
to this flag, e.g., --metadata
key-1=value-1,key-2=value-2,key-3=value-3.
In images that have Compute Engine tools installed on them, such as the official images (cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images the following metadata keys have special meanings:
-
- startup-script
-
Specifies a script that will be executed by the instances once they start
running. For convenience, --metadata-from-file can be used to
pull the value from a file.
- startup-script-url
-
Same as startup-script except that the script contents are pulled
from a publicly-accessible location on the web.
-
At least one of [--metadata] or [--metadata-from-file] is required.
-
- --metadata-from-file=KEY=LOCAL_FILE_PATH,[...]
-
Same as --metadata except that the value for the entry will be
read from a local file. This is useful for values that are too large such as
startup-script contents.
At least one of [--metadata] or [--metadata-from-file] is required.
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.
