- gcloud compute instances get-shielded-identity - get the Shielded identity for a Compute Engine instance
- SYNOPSIS
-
-
gcloud compute instances get-shielded-identityINSTANCE_NAME[--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute instances get-shielded-identitydisplays the Shielded identity associated with a Compute Engine instance in a project. - EXAMPLES
- To get the shielded identity for an instance, run:
gcloud compute instances get-shielded-identity example-instance --zone = us-central1-b - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
-
INSTANCE_NAME - Name of the instance to describe the Shielded identity of. For details on valid instance names, refer to the criteria documented under the field 'name' at: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
-
- FLAGS
-
-
--zone=ZONE - Zone of the instance to describe the Shielded identity of. If not specified, you
might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).
gcloudattempts to identify the appropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. If the zone cannot be determined,gcloudprompts you for a selection with all available Google Cloud Platform zones.To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set the
compute/zonegcloud config set compute/zone ZONEA list of zones can be fetched by running:
gcloud compute zones listTo unset the property, run:
gcloud config unset compute/zoneAlternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable
CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE
