NAME
    gcloud compute instances add-labels - add labels to Google Compute Engine
        virtual machine instances

SYNOPSIS
    gcloud compute instances add-labels INSTANCE_NAME --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
        [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION
    gcloud compute instances add-labels adds labels to a Google Compute Engine
    virtual machine instance.

EXAMPLES
    To add key-value pairs k0=v0 and k1=v1 to 'example-instance'

        $ gcloud compute instances add-labels example-instance \
            --labels=k0=v0,k1=v1

    Labels can be used to identify the instance and to filter them. To find a
    instance labeled with key-value pair k1, v2

        $ gcloud compute instances list --filter='labels.k1:v2'

    To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format

        $ gcloud compute instances describe example-instance \
            --format='default(labels)'

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
     INSTANCE_NAME
        Name of the instance to operate 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
     --labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
        A list of labels to add.

OPTIONAL FLAGS
     --zone=ZONE
        Zone of the instance to operate 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,
