|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshots create INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME
|
|
--source-disk=SOURCE_DISK [--labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]]
|
|
[--region=REGION | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha 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 alpha 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.
|
|
|
|
