DESCRIPTION
    gcloud compute migration image-imports create imports images such as VMWare
    VMDK files and VHD files, from a Google Cloud Storage file (gs://...) to
    Google Compute Engine, using the Migrate to Virtual Machines service API.
    This command creates an Image Import resource with a nested Image Import
    Job resource. The Image Import Job resource tracks the image import
    progress. To use this command, you must enable VM Migration API in your
    project.

EXAMPLES
    To import my-ubuntu22.04.vmdk from my-images-bucket to my-target-project in
    us-central1, create my-image-import resource in my-project in us-central1.
    Run:        $ gcloud compute migration image-imports create my-image-import \
            --source-file=gs://my-images-bucket/my-ubuntu22.04.vmdk \
            --image-name=my-ubuntu-image --location=us-central1 \
            --target-project=projects/my-project/locations/global/\
        targetProjects/my-target-project --project=my-project

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     Image import resource - The Image Import resource you want to create. This
     would be the image name if --image-name is not given. 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 image_import_name 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.

       IMAGE_IMPORT_NAME
          ID of the image_import or fully qualified identifier for the
          image_import.

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

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

       --location=LOCATION
          Resource location.

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

REQUIRED FLAGS
     --source-file=SOURCE_FILE
        The path to the Google Cloud Storage file from which the image should
        be imported.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --additional-licenses=[ADDITIONAL_LICENSES,...]
        Comma-separated list of the additional licenses to assign to the image.

     --description=DESCRIPTION
        A description of the image.

     --family-name=FAMILY_NAME
        The name of the image family to which the new image belongs.

     --image-name=IMAGE_NAME
        The name of the image that will be imported to Google Compute Engine.
        Default is the Image Import name.

     --kms-key=KMS_KEY
        Fully qualified identifier for the Cloud KMS (Key Management Service)
        cryptokey that will be used to protect the image.

     --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
        A map of labels to associate with the image.

     --single-region-storage
        If true, the location of the imported image will be the region of the
        import job. Otherwise the closest multi-region is selected. Default is
        false.

     --target-project=TARGET_PROJECT
        The target project resource path to which the image will be imported.
        Default is the customer project. To get a list of the target projects
        run the gcloud alpha migration vms target-projects list command.

     OS adaptation parameters

     At most one of these can be specified:

       --adaptation-modifiers=ADAPTATION_MODIFIERS
          A map of flags to pass to the OS adaptation process. The actual value
          depends on the modifier and can also be empty. e.g.
          --adaptation-modifiers=flag1=value1,flag2

       --boot-conversion=BOOT_CONVERSION
          This property will trigger an internal process which will convert the
          image from using the existing boot option to another. The size of the
          boot disk might be increased to allow the conversion. Currently only
          support BIOS_TO_EFI.

          BOOT_CONVERSION must be one of: bios-to-efi,
          boot-conversion-unspecified, none.

       --generalize
          If true, generalize the imported image. Default false. The
          generalization process enables co-existence of multiple VMs created
          from the same image. For Windows, generalizing the image removes
          computer-specific information such as installed drivers and the
          computer security identifier (SID).

       --license-type=LICENSE_TYPE
          The license to use post migration. LICENSE_TYPE must be one of:
          compute-engine-license-type-byol,
          compute-engine-license-type-default,
          compute-engine-license-type-payg.

       --rootfs-uuid=ROOTFS_UUID
          Identifies the file system to adapt.

       --skip-os-adaptation
          If true, skip OS adaptation. Default false.

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

       --guest-os-features=[GUEST_OS_FEATURES,...]
          Guest OS features to enable on the imported image. This field does
          not change the OS of the image; it only marks the image with the
          specified features, so ensure they are compatible with the OS. If
          specified, --skip-os-adaptation must be specified.

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.
