- DESCRIPTION
-
(BETA)gcloud beta compute instances updateupdates labels and requested CPU Platform for a Compute Engine virtual machine. - EXAMPLES
-
To modify the instance 'example-instance' in 'us-central1-a' by adding labels
'k0', with value 'value1' and label 'k1' with value 'value2' and removing labels
with key 'k3', run:
gcloud beta compute instances update example-instance --zone=us-central1-a --update-labels=k0=value1,k1=value2 --remove-labels=k3Labels can be used to identify the instance. To list instances with the 'k1:value2' label, run:
gcloud beta compute instances list --filter='labels.k1:value2'To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format to filter the result:
gcloud beta compute instances describe example-instance --format="default(labels)" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
INSTANCE_NAME- Name of the instance to update. 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
-
--[no-]deletion-protection-
Enables deletion protection for the instance. Use
--deletion-protectionto enable and--no-deletion-protectionto disable. --[no-]enable-display-device-
Enable a display device on VM instances. Use
--enable-display-deviceto enable and--no-enable-display-deviceto disable. --[no-]graceful-shutdown-
Enables or disables graceful shutdown for the instance. Use
--graceful-shutdownto enable and--no-graceful-shutdownto disable. --graceful-shutdown-max-duration=GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_MAX_DURATION- Specifies the maximum time for the graceful shutdown. After this time, the instance is set to STOPPING even if tasks are still running. Specify the time as the number of hours, minutes, or seconds followed by h, m, and s respectively. For example, specify 30m for 30 minutes or 20m10s for 20 minutes and 10 seconds. The value must be between 1 second and 1 hour.
--min-cpu-platform=PLATFORM-
When specified, the VM will be scheduled on host with specified CPU architecture
or a newer one. To list available CPU platforms in given zone, run:
gcloud beta compute zones describe ZONE --format="value(availableCpuPlatforms)"Default setting is "AUTOMATIC".
CPU platform selection is available only in selected zones.
You can find more information on-line: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform
--partner-metadata=[NAMESPACE/KEY=VALUE,…]- Partner metadata specifying namespace and its entries. The entries can be key-value pairs or in json format.
--partner-metadata-from-file=LOCAL_FILE_PATH- Path to a local json file containing partner metadata. Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of partner_metadata.
--[no-]shielded-integrity-monitoring-
Enables monitoring and attestation of the boot integrity of the instance. The
attestation is performed against the integrity policy baseline. This baseline is
initially derived from the implicitly trusted boot image when the instance is
created. This baseline can be updated by using
gcloud compute instances update --shielded-learn-integrity-policy. On Shielded VM instances, integrity monitoring is enabled by default. For information about how to modify Shielded VM options, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm. For information about monitoring integrity on Shielded VM instances, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/integrity-monitoring." Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect after stopping and starting the instance. Use--shielded-integrity-monitoringto enable and--no-shielded-integrity-monitoringto disable. --shielded-learn-integrity-policy- Causes the instance to re-learn the integrity policy baseline using the current instance configuration. Use this flag after any planned boot-specific changes in the instance configuration, like kernel updates or kernel driver installation.
--[no-]shielded-secure-boot-
The instance boots with secure boot enabled. On Shielded VM instances, Secure
Boot is not enabled by default. For information about how to modify Shielded VM
options, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm.
Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect after stopping
and starting the instance. Use
--shielded-secure-bootto enable and--no-shielded-secure-bootto disable. --[no-]shielded-vtpm-
The instance boots with the TPM (Trusted Platform Module) enabled. A TPM is a
hardware module that can be used for different security operations such as
remote attestation, encryption, and sealing of keys. On Shielded VM instances,
vTPM is enabled by default. For information about how to modify Shielded VM
options, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/modifying-shielded-vm.
Changes to this setting with the update command only take effect after stopping
and starting the instance. Use
--shielded-vtpmto enable and--no-shielded-vtpmto disable. --update-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]-
List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to update. If a label exists, its value is
modified. Otherwise, a new label is created.
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. --zone=ZONE-
Zone of the instance to update. If not specified, you might be prompted to
select a zone (interactive mode only).
gcloudattempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined,gcloudprompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
property:compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE -
At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-labels-
Remove all labels. If
--update-labelsis also specified then--clear-labelsis applied first.For example, to remove all labels:
gcloud beta compute instances update --clear-labelsTo remove all existing labels and create two new labels,
andfoo:bazgcloud beta compute instances update --clear-labels --update-labels foo=bar,baz=qux --remove-labels=[KEY,…]-
List of label keys to remove. If a label does not exist it is silently ignored.
If
--update-labelsis also specified then--update-labelsis applied first.
-
Sole Tenancy.
At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-node-affinities- Removes the node affinities field from the instance. If specified, the instance node settings will be cleared. The instance will not be scheduled onto a sole-tenant node.
--node=NODE- The name of the node to schedule this instance on.
--node-affinity-file=PATH_TO_FILE-
The JSON/YAML file containing the configuration of desired nodes onto which this
instance could be scheduled. These rules filter the nodes according to their
node affinity labels. A node's affinity labels come from the node template of
the group the node is in.
The file should contain a list of a JSON/YAML objects. For an example, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/nodes/provisioning-sole-tenant-vms#configure_node_affinity_labels. The following list describes the fields:
key- Corresponds to the node affinity label keys of the Node resource.
operator-
Specifies the node selection type. Must be one of:
IN: Requires Compute Engine to seek for matched nodes.NOT_IN: Requires Compute Engine to avoid certain nodes. values-
Optional. A list of values which correspond to the node affinity label values of
the Node resource.
Use a full or relative path to a local file containing the value of node_affinity_file.
--node-group=NODE_GROUP- The name of the node group to schedule this instance on.
