NAME
    gcloud compute instances add-tags - add tags to Compute Engine virtual
        machine instances

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud compute instances add-tags INSTANCE_NAME --tags=TAG,[TAG,...]
        [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    gcloud compute instances add-tags is used to add tags to Compute Engine
    virtual machine instances.

    Tags can be used to identify the instances when adding network firewall
    rules. Tags can also be used to get firewall rules that already exist to be
    applied to the instance. See gcloud compute firewall-rules create(1) for
    more details.

    To list instances with their respective status and tags, run:

        $ gcloud compute instances list \
            --format="table(name,status,tags.list())"

    To list instances tagged with a specific tag, tag1, run:

        $ gcloud compute instances list --filter='tags:tag1'

EXAMPLES
    To add tags tag-1 and tag-2 to an instance named test-instance, run:

        $ gcloud compute instances add-tags test-instance --tags=tag-1,tag-2

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE_NAME
        Name of the instance to set tags 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
     --tags=TAG,[TAG,...]
        Specifies strings to be attached to the instance for later identifying
        the instance when adding network firewall rules. Multiple tags can be
        attached by repeating this flag.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --zone=ZONE
        Zone of the instance to set tags 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.
