NAME
    gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export - export the
        configuration for a Compute Engine target instance

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export
        ([TARGET_INSTANCE : --zone=ZONE] --all) [--path=PATH; default="-"]
        [--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export exports the
    configuration for a Compute Engine target instance.

    Target instance configurations can be exported in Kubernetes Resource Model
    (krm) or Terraform HCL formats. The default format is krm.

    Specifying --all allows you to export the configurations for all target
    instances within the project.

    Specifying --path allows you to export the configuration(s) to a local
    directory.

EXAMPLES
    To export the configuration for a target instance, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export \
            my-target-instance

    To export the configuration for a target instance to a file, run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export \
            my-target-instance --path=/path/to/dir/

    To export the configuration for a target instance in Terraform HCL format,
    run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export \
            my-target-instance --resource-format=terraform

    To export the configurations for all target instances within a project,
    run:

        $ gcloud alpha compute target-instances config export --all

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Exactly one of these must be specified:

         Target instance resource - Target instance to export the configuration
         for. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes
         of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in
         this group but can be set in other ways.

         To set the project attribute:
         ▸ provide the argument target_instance on the command line with a
           fully specified name;
         ▸ provide the argument --project on the command line;
         ▸ set the property core/project.

         TARGET_INSTANCE
            ID of the target instance or fully qualified identifier for the
            target instance.

            To set the target_instance attribute:
         ▸ provide the argument target_instance on the command line.

       This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments
       in this group are specified.

         --zone=ZONE
            The name of the Google Compute Engine zone.

            To set the zone attribute:
         ▸ provide the argument target_instance on the command line with a
           fully specified name;
         ▸ provide the argument --zone on the command line;
         ▸ set the property compute/zone.

       --all
          Retrieve all resources within the project. If --path is specified and
          is a valid directory, resources will be output as individual files
          based on resource name and scope. If --path is not specified,
          resources will be streamed to stdout.

FLAGS
     --path=PATH; default="-"
        Path of the directory or file to output configuration(s). To output
        configurations to stdout, specify "--path=-".

     --resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT
        Format of the configuration to export. Available configuration formats
        are Kubernetes Resource Model YAML (krm) or Terraform HCL (terraform).
        Command defaults to "krm". RESOURCE_FORMAT must be one of: krm,
        terraform.

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.
