NAME

gcloud alpha migration vms machine-image-imports - imports machine images
|
|
to Google Compute Engine from Google Cloud Storage
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
gcloud alpha migration vms machine-image-imports COMMAND
|
|
[GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
(ALPHA) gcloud migration vms machine-image-imports provides a more robust
|
|
and better supported method for importing machine images to Google Compute
|
|
Engine. Other image-related operations (for example, list) can be done
|
|
using gcloud compute images, as usual.
|
|
|
|
The commands use VM Migration API which supports importing of a machine
|
|
image from a Google Cloud Storage file (gs://...) to a target project. VM
|
|
Migration API must be enabled in your project.
|
|
|
|
gcloud migration vms machine-image-imports create creates a machine Image
|
|
Import resource with a nested Image Import Job resource. The Image Import
|
|
Job resource tracks the machine image import progress. After the Image
|
|
Import Job completes, successfully or otherwise, there's no further use for
|
|
the Image Import resource.
|
|
|
|
The machine image is imported to a Google Cloud Project, desginated by the
|
|
Target Project resource. To get a list of Target Projects, run the gcloud
|
|
alpha migration vms target-projects list command. Use the Google Cloud
|
|
console to add target project resources. For information on adding target
|
|
projects, see
|
|
https://cloud.google.com/migrate/virtual-machines/docs/5.0/how-to/target-project.
|
|
|
|
A project can support up to a certain number of Image Import resources per
|
|
project. Hence it's recommended to delete an Image Import resource after
|
|
the Image Import Job is complete to avoid reaching the Image Import
|
|
resources limit. Deletion of Image Import resource does not affect the
|
|
imported machine image. For more information about the image import
|
|
resource, see
|
|
https://cloud.google.com/migrate/virtual-machines/docs/5.0/migrate/image_import.
