gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create

NAME
gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create - create a Compute Engine consistency group of instant snapshots
SYNOPSIS
gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME --source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP [--region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(BETA) gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create creates an instant snapshot group of the consistency group. An Instant Snapshot Group is a Point In Time view of the constituent disks of a Consistency Group, they are stored in-place as Instant Snapshots on the corresponding disks.
EXAMPLES
To create an instant snapshot group 'my-instant-snapshot-group' in zone 'us-east1-a' from a consistency group 'my-consistency-group' in region 'us-east1', run:
gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create my-instant-snapshot-group --zone us-east1-a --source-consistency-group=regions/us-east1/resourcePolicies/policy1
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME
Name of the instant snapshot group to create.
REQUIRED FLAGS
--source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP
Specifies the source consistency group resource policy. The value should be the relative name of the resource policy, in the format ``regions/REGION/resourcePolicies/POLICY_NAME``. The resource policy is always in the same region as the source disks.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
At most one of these can be specified:
--region=REGION
Region of the instant snapshot group 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 group 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
