- gcloud preview compute commitments describe - describe a Compute Engine commitment
- SYNOPSIS
-
-
gcloud preview compute commitments describeCOMMITMENT[--region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
(PREVIEW)gcloud preview compute commitments describedisplays all data associated with a Compute Engine resource-based commitment.Note that the memory capacity returned by this command is in MB (where 1 MB = 2^20 bytes, equivalent to MiB).
In contrast, the
gcloud compute commitments createcommand and the Web Console default to GB (where 1 GB = 2^30 bytes, equivalent to GiB). If you plan to repurchase commitments for your resources by using the Google Cloud console or thegcloud compute commitments createcommand, then don't reuse the memory numbers directly from the output of thedescribecommand. Make sure to convert the memory amount to GB first. Otherwise, you end up purchasing a commitment for 1024 times the intended amount.Local SSD capacity, however, is consistently measured in GB across both
describeandcreatecommands. - EXAMPLES
-
To describe the commitment called
in thecommitment-1region, run:us-central1gcloud preview compute commitments describe commitment-1 --region=us-central1 - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
COMMITMENT- Name of the commitment to describe.
- FLAGS
-
--region=REGION-
Region of the commitment to describe. 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
property:compute/regiongcloud config set compute/region REGIONA list of regions can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute regions listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/regionAlternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable
.CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION
- 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 helpfor details. - NOTES
-
This command is currently in DEVELOPER PREVIEW and may change without notice. If
this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct
project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early
access allowlist. These variants are also available:
