NAME
    gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshot-groups create - create a Compute
        Engine consistency group of instant snapshots

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshot-groups create
        INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME
        --source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP
        [--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshot-groups create creates an
    instant snapshot group of the consistency group. An Instant Snapshot Group
    is a Point In Time view of the constituent disks of a Consistency Group,
    they are stored in-place as Instant Snapshots on the corresponding disks.

EXAMPLES
    To create an instant snapshot group 'my-instant-snapshot-group' in zone
    'us-east1-a' from a consistency group 'my-consistency-group' in region
    'us-east1', run:        $ gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshot-groups create \
          my-instant-snapshot-group --zone us-east1-a \
          --source-consistency-group=regions/us-east1/resourcePolicies/\
        policy1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME
        Name of the instant snapshot group to create.

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP
        Specifies the source consistency group resource policy. The value
        should be the relative name of the resource policy, in the format
        ``regions/REGION/resourcePolicies/POLICY_NAME``. The resource policy is
        always in the same region as the source disks.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     At most one of these can be specified:

       --region=REGION
          Region of the instant snapshot group to create. If not specified, you
          might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

          To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
          compute/region property:

              $ gcloud config set compute/region REGION

          A list of regions can be fetched by running:

              $ gcloud compute regions list

          To unset the property, run:

              $ gcloud config unset compute/region

          Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
          CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

       --zone=ZONE
          Zone of the instant snapshot group to create. If not specified and
          the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select
          a zone (interactive mode only).

          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: --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 instant-snapshot-groups create

        $ gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create
