- DESCRIPTION
- Update the snapshot settings of a project.
- EXAMPLES
- To update the snapshot settings and set the storage location policy to the
nearest multi-region as the source disk, run:
gcloud compute snapshot-settings update --storage-location-policy = nearest-multi-regionTo update the snapshot settings and set the storage location policy to the same region as the source disk, run:
gcloud compute snapshot-settings update --storage-location-policy = local-regionTo update the snapshot settings and set the storage location policy to store snapshots in a specific location like
us-west1, run:gcloud compute snapshot-settings update --storage-location-policy = specific-locations --storage-location-names = us-west1 - FLAGS

--async - Return immediately, without waiting for the operation in progress to complete.
-
--storage-location-names=[STORAGE_LOCATION_NAMES,…] - The custom storage location that you specify for the project's snapshots. You
can specify only a single location. Use this flag only when you use the
specific-locations value for the
--storage-location-policyflag. For more information, refer to the snapshot settings documentation at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/snapshot-settings . -
--storage-location-policy=STORAGE_LOCATION_POLICY - The storage location policy. For more information, refer to the snapshot settings documentation at https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/disks/snapshot-settings . STORAGE_LOCATION_POLICY must be one of: local-region, nearest-multi-region, specific-locations.
