NAME
gcloud alpha compute project-info add-metadata - add or update project-wide
metadata
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute project-info add-metadata
[--metadata=KEY=VALUE,[KEY=VALUE,...]]
[--metadata-from-file=KEY=LOCAL_FILE_PATH,[...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute project-info add-metadata can be used to add
or update project-wide metadata. Every instance has access to a metadata
server that can be used to query metadata that has been set through this
tool. Project-wide metadata entries are visible to all instances. To set
metadata for individual instances, use gcloud compute instances
add-metadata. For information on metadata, see
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/metadata
Only metadata keys that are provided are mutated. Existing metadata entries
will remain unaffected.
If you are using this command to manage SSH keys for your project, please
note the risks
(https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys#risks)
of manual SSH key management as well as the required format for SSH key
metadata, available at
https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/adding-removing-ssh-keys
FLAGS
--metadata=KEY=VALUE,[KEY=VALUE,...]
Metadata to be made available to the guest operating system running on
the instances. Each metadata entry is a key/value pair separated by an
equals sign. Each metadata key must be unique and have a max of 128
bytes in length. Each value must have a max of 256 KB in length.
Multiple arguments can be passed to this flag, e.g., --metadata
key-1=value-1,key-2=value-2,key-3=value-3. The combined total size for
all metadata entries is 512 KB.
In images that have Compute Engine tools installed on them, such as the
official images (https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/images), the
following metadata keys have special meanings:
startup-script
Specifies a script that will be executed by the instances once they
start running. For convenience, --metadata-from-file can be used to
pull the value from a file.
startup-script-url
Same as startup-script except that the script contents are pulled
from a publicly-accessible location on the web.
For startup scripts on Windows instances, the following metadata
keys have special meanings: windows-startup-script-url,
windows-startup-script-cmd, windows-startup-script-bat,
windows-startup-script-ps1, sysprep-specialize-script-url,
sysprep-specialize-script-cmd, sysprep-specialize-script-bat, and
sysprep-specialize-script-ps1. For more information, see Running
startup scripts
(https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/startupscript).
At least one of [--metadata] or [--metadata-from-file] is required.
--metadata-from-file=KEY=LOCAL_FILE_PATH,[...]
Same as --metadata except that the value for the entry will be read
from a local file. This is useful for values that are too large such as
startup-script contents.
At least one of [--metadata] or [--metadata-from-file] is required.
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.
NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this
command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
access allowlist. These variants are also available:
$ gcloud compute project-info add-metadata
$ gcloud beta compute project-info add-metadata
