NAME
    gcloud alpha memcache instances describe - display metadata for a
        Memorystore Memcached instance

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud alpha memcache instances describe (INSTANCE : --region=REGION)
        [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    (ALPHA) Displays all metadata associated with a Memcached instance given a
    valid instance name.

    This command can fail for the following reasons:
      ▪ The instance specified does not exist.
      ▪ The active account does not have permission to access the given
        instance.

EXAMPLES
    To display the metadata for an instance named my-memcache-instance in
    region us-central1, run:

        $ gcloud alpha memcache instances describe my-memcache-instance \
            --region=us-central1

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Instance resource - Arguments and flags that specify the Memcached
     instance to describe. 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 instance on the command line with a fully
        specified name;
      ◆ provide the argument --project on the command line;
      ◆ set the property core/project.

     This must be specified.

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

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

       --region=REGION
          The name of the Memcached region of the instance. Overrides the
          default memcache/region property value for this command invocation.

          To set the region attribute:
          ▸ provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully
            specified name;
          ▸ provide the argument --region on the command line;
          ▸ set the property memcache/region.
