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 Google
    Compute Engine virtual machine instance.

EXAMPLES
    To add key-value pairs k0=v0 and k1=v1 to 'example-instance'

        $ gcloud alpha compute instances add-labels example-instance \
            --labels=k0=v0,k1=v1

    Labels can be used to identify the instance and to filter them. To find a
    instance labeled with key-value pair k1, v2

        $ gcloud alpha compute instances list --filter='labels.k1:v2'

    To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format

        $ gcloud alpha compute instances describe example-instance \
            --format='default(labels)'

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE_NAME
        Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance
        names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:
        https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances

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 might be
        prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only). gcloud attempts to
        identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your
        currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined, gcloud
        prompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform
        zones.

        To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user 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: --access-token-file, --account,
    --billing-project, --configuration, --flags-file, --flatten, --format,
    --help, --impersonate-service-account, --log-http, --project, --quiet,
    --trace-token, --user-output-enabled, --verbosity.

    Run $ gcloud help for details.

NOTES
    This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
    command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
    project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
    access allowlist. These variants are also available:

        $ gcloud compute instances add-labels

        $ gcloud beta compute instances add-labels
