gcloud compute snapshots updateupdates labels for a Compute Engine snapshot. - EXAMPLES
-
To update labels
andk0and remove labels with keyk1, run:k3gcloud compute snapshots update example-snapshot --update-labels=k0=value1,k1=value2 --remove-labels=k3`_k0_` and `_k1_` will be added as new labels if not already present.
Labels can be used to identify the snapshot and to filter them like:
gcloud compute snapshots list --filter='labels.k1:value2'To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format:
gcloud compute snapshots describe example-snapshot --format="default(labels)" - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

gcloud compute snapshots update --clear-labelsTo remove all existing labels and create two new labels,
andfoo:bazgcloud compute snapshots update --clear-labels --update-labels foo=bar,baz=qux --remove-labels=[KEY,…]-

If
--update-labelsis also specified then--update-labelsis applied first.
