NAME
gcloud compute instant-snapshots create - create a Compute Engine instant
snapshot
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instant-snapshots create INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME
--source-disk=SOURCE_DISK [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]]
[--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instant-snapshots create creates an instant snapshot of a
disk. Instant snapshots are useful for backing up the disk data.
EXAMPLES
To create an instant snapshot 'my-instant-snap' from a disk 'my-disk' in
zone 'us-east1-a', run:
$ gcloud compute instant-snapshots create my-instant-snap \
--source-disk=my-disk --zone=us-east1-a
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME
Name of the instant snapshot to create.
REQUIRED FLAGS
Source disk options
This must be specified.
--source-disk=SOURCE_DISK
Source disk used to create the instant snapshot.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens
(-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must
contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and
numbers.
At most one of these can be specified:
--region=REGION
Region of the instant snapshot to create. If not specified, you might
be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the
compute/region property:
$ gcloud config set compute/region REGION
A list of regions can be fetched by running:
$ gcloud compute regions list
To unset the property, run:
$ gcloud config unset compute/region
Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instant snapshot to create. If not specified and the
compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a
zone (interactive mode only).
To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you 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,
--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.
