NAME
    gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe - describe a Compute Engine
        snapshot

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe SNAPSHOT_NAME
        [--global | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe displays all data
    associated with a Compute Engine snapshot in a project.

    Given an existing snapshot is queried, successful output of this command
    looks like the following:

        creationTimestamp: '2018-05-07T10:45:46.988-07:00'
        diskSizeGb: '500'
        id: '1234567891234567890'
        kind: compute#snapshot
        labelFingerprint: 12345abcdWW=
        name: zs9utdhb8r1x
        selfLink: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/test-project-name/global/snapshots/snapshot-number
        sourceDisk: https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/test-project-name/zones/us-central1-c/disks/test
        sourceDiskId: '1234567891234567890'
        status: READY
        storageBytes: '0'
        storageBytesStatus: UP_TO_DATE

EXAMPLES
    To run gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe, you'll need the name of a
    snapshot. To list existing snapshots by name, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute snapshots list

    To display specific details of an existing Compute Engine snapshot (like
    its creation time, status, and storage details), run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute snapshots describe SNAPSHOT_NAME \
            --format="table(creationTimestamp, status, storageBytesStatus)"

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     SNAPSHOT_NAME
        Name of the snapshot to describe.

FLAGS
     At most one of these can be specified:

       --global
          If set, the snapshot is global.

       --region=REGION
          Region of the snapshot to describe. Overrides the default
          compute/region property value for this command invocation.

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 snapshots describe

        $ gcloud beta compute snapshots describe
