NAME

|
gcloud beta compute instances describe - describe a virtual machine
|
|
instance
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
gcloud beta compute instances describe INSTANCE_NAME [--view=VIEW]
|
|
[--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
(BETA) gcloud beta compute instances describe displays all data associated
|
|
with a Compute Engine virtual machine instance.
|
|
|
|
It's possible to limit the the scope of the description by using the
|
|
'--format' flag. For details, see Filtering and formatting fun with gcloud
|
|
(https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/gcp/filtering-and-formatting-fun-with).
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLES
|
|
To describe an instance named test-instance, run:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud beta compute instances describe test-instance
|
|
|
|
To output only a set of fields from the available information, specify it
|
|
using the '--format' flag:
|
|
|
|
$ gcloud beta compute instances describe test-instance \
|
|
--format="yaml(name,status,disks)"
|
|
|
|
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
|
|
INSTANCE_NAME
|
|
Name of the instance to describe. 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
|
|
|
|
FLAGS
|
|
--view=VIEW
|
|
Specifies the information that the output should contain. VIEW must be
|
|
one of:
|
|
|
|
BASIC
|
|
Default output view. Output contains all configuration details of
|
|
the instance, except partner metadata.
|
|
FULL
|
|
Output contains all configuration details of the instance,
|
|
including partner metadata.
|
|
|
|
--zone=ZONE
|
|
Zone of the instance to describe. 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,
|
|
