NAME gcloud app instances ssh - SSH into the VM of an App Engine Flexible instance SYNOPSIS gcloud app instances ssh INSTANCE [--container=CONTAINER] [--service=SERVICE] [--version=VERSION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...] [-- COMMAND ...] DESCRIPTION gcloud app instances ssh lets you remotely log in to your running App Engine Flexible instances. gcloud app instances ssh resolves the instance's IP address and pre-populates the VM with a public key managed by gcloud. If the gcloud managed key pair does not exist, it is generated the first time an SSH command is run, which may prompt you for a passphrase for the private key encryption. All SSH commands require the OpenSSH client suite to be installed on Linux and Mac OS X. On Windows, the Google Cloud CLI comes with a bundled PuTTY suite instead, so it has no external dependencies. EXAMPLES To SSH into an App Engine Flexible instance, run: $ gcloud app instances ssh --service=s1 --version=v1 i1 To SSH into the app container within an instance, run: $ gcloud app instances ssh --service=s1 --version=v1 i1 \ --container=gaeapp To SSH into the app container and run a remote command, run: $ gcloud app instances ssh --service=s1 --version=v1 i1 \ --container=gaeapp -- echo hello POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS INSTANCE The instance ID. [-- COMMAND ...] Remote command to execute on the VM. The '--' argument must be specified between gcloud specific args on the left and COMMAND on the right. FLAGS --container=CONTAINER Name of the container within the VM to connect to. --service=SERVICE The service ID. --version=VERSION The version ID. 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.
