- gcloud compute instances remove-labels - remove labels from Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances
- SYNOPSIS
-
-
gcloud compute instances remove-labelsINSTANCE_NAME(--all|--labels=KEY, [KEY, …]) [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
gcloud compute instances remove-labelsremoves labels from a Google Compute Engine virtual machine instance. - EXAMPLES
- To remove existing labels with key
k0k1gcloud compute instances remove-labels example-instance --labels = k0,k1Labels can be used to identify the instance and to filter them. To find a instance labeled with key-value pair
k1v2gcloud compute instances list --filter = 'labels.k1:v2'To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format
gcloud compute instances describe example-instance --format = 'default(labels)' - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
-
-
INSTANCE_NAME - Name of the instance to operate on. 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
-
- REQUIRED FLAGS
-
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
-
--all - Remove all labels from the resource.
-
--labels=KEY,[KEY,…] - A comma-separated list of label keys to remove from the resource.
-
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- OPTIONAL FLAGS
-
-
--zone=ZONE - Zone of the instance to operate on. 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
