gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create

NAME

gcloud beta compute instant-snapshot-groups create - create a Compute Engine instant snapshot group

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 An Instant Snapshot Group is a Point In Time view of the constituent disks of a Consistency Group, they are stored in-place as Instant Snapshots on the corresponding disks.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

URL of the source consistency group resource policy. 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

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.
