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.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
These flags are available to all commands: --help.
Run $ gcloud help for details.
COMMANDS
COMMAND is one of the following:
create
(ALPHA) import machine images to Google Compute Engine.
delete
(ALPHA) delete an Image Import resource.
describe

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. This variant is also available:
$ gcloud migration vms machine-image-imports
