NAME
    gcloud compute snapshots describe - describe a Compute Engine snapshot

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud compute snapshots describe SNAPSHOT_NAME [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

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

        $ gcloud compute snapshots list

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

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

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     SNAPSHOT_NAME
        Name of the snapshot to describe.
