DESCRIPTION
    gcloud migration vms machine-image-imports create Imports machine images
    such as OVA and OVF 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 ub-14.04.5.ova from my-images-bucket to my-target-project in
    us-central1, create my-image-import resource in my-project in us-central1.
    Run:        $ gcloud migration vms machine-image-imports create \
            my-machine-image-import \
            --source-file=gs://my-images-bucket/ub-14.04.5.ova \
            --image-name=my-ubuntu-machine-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 machine image name if --machine-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
        machine image.

     --description=DESCRIPTION
        A description of the machine image.

     --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 machine image.

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

     --machine-type=MACHINE_TYPE
        The machine type to create the machine image with. If not provided, the
        service will choose a relevant machine type series based on the
        information from the source image.

     --network-interface=[network=NETWORK],[networkTier=NETWORKTIER],[subnetwork=SUBNETWORK]
        The network interface to use for the instance created by the machine
        image. This is a dicionary with the following keys:
        ◆ network: The network to use for this network interface.
        ◆ subnetwork: The subnetwork to use for this network interface.
        ◆ network-tier: The network tier to use for this network interface.
          This argument can be specified multiple times in case of multiple
          nics.

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

     --tags=[TAGS,...]
        The tags to apply to the instance created by the machine image.

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

     Shielded instance configuration.

       --enable-integrity-monitoring
          Defines whether the instance created by the machine image has
          integrity monitoring enabled. This can be set to true only if the
          image boot option is EFI, and vTPM is enabled.

       --enable-vtpm
          Defines whether the instance created by the machine image has vTPM
          enabled. This can be set to true only if the image boot option is
          EFI.

       --secure-boot=SECURE_BOOT
          Defines whether the instance created by the machine image has Secure
          Boot enabled. This can be set to true only if the image boot option
          is EFI. If not specified we will use the configuration of the source.
          SECURE_BOOT must be one of: false, secure-boot-unspecified, true.

     The service account to assign to the instance created by the machine
     image.

       --scopes=[SCOPES,...]
          The list of scopes to be made available for the service account.

       --service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT
          The email address of the service account.

     OS adaptation parameters.

     At most one of these can be specified:

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

       --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 machine image. Default false. The
          generalization process enables co-existence of multiple VMs created
          from the same machine image. For Windows, generalizing the machine
          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.
