gcloud beta compute instant-snapshots create

NAME: gcloud beta compute instant-snapshots create - create a Compute Engine instant snapshot
SYNOPSIS: gcloud beta compute instant-snapshots create INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME --source-disk = SOURCE_DISK [ --labels =[ KEY = VALUE , …]] [ --resource-manager-tags =[ KEY = VALUE , …]] [ --region = REGION | --zone = ZONE ] [ GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG … ]
DESCRIPTION: (BETA) gcloud beta compute instant-snapshots create creates an instant snapshot of a disk. Instant snapshots are useful for backing up the disk data.
EXAMPLES: To create an instant snapshot 'my-instant-snap' from a disk 'my-disk' in zone 'us-east1-a', run:
gcloud beta compute instant-snapshots create my-instant-snap --source-disk = my-disk --zone = us-east1-a
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS: INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_NAME

Name of the instant snapshot to create.
REQUIRED FLAGS: Source disk options
This must be specified.

--source-disk = SOURCE_DISK

Source disk used to create the instant snapshot.
OPTIONAL FLAGS: --labels =[ KEY = VALUE ,…]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to add.
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.

--resource-manager-tags =[ KEY = VALUE ,…]

A comma-separated list of Resource Manager tags to apply to the snapshot.

At most one of these can be specified:

--region = REGION

Region of the instant snapshot 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 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 .
