--metadata=KEY=VALUE,[KEY=VALUE,…]
Metadata to be made available to the guest operating system running on the instances. Each metadata entry is a key/value pair separated by an equals sign. Each metadata key must be unique and have a max of 128 bytes in length. Each value must have a max of 256 KB in length. Multiple arguments can be passed to this flag, e.g., --metadata key-1=value-1,key-2=value-2,key-3=value-3. The combined total size for all metadata entries is 512 KB.

In images that have Compute Engine tools installed on them, such as the official images, the following metadata keys have special meanings:

startup-script
Specifies a script that will be executed by the instances once they start running. For convenience, --metadata-from-file can be used to pull the value from a file.
startup-script-url
Same as startup-script except that the script contents are pulled from a publicly-accessible location on the web. For startup scripts on Windows instances, the following metadata keys have special meanings: windows-startup-script-url, windows-startup-script-cmd, windows-startup-script-bat, windows-startup-script-ps1, sysprep-specialize-script-url, sysprep-specialize-script-cmd, sysprep-specialize-script-bat, and sysprep-specialize-script-ps1. For more information, see Running startup scripts.
--min-cpu-platform=PLATFORM
When specified, the VM will be scheduled on host with specified CPU architecture or a newer one. To list available CPU platforms in given zone, run:
gcloud compute zones describe ZONE --format="value(availableCpuPlatforms)"

Default setting is "AUTOMATIC".

CPU platform selection is available only in selected zones.

You can find more information on-line: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/specify-min-cpu-platform

--min-node-cpu=MIN_NODE_CPU
Minimum number of virtual CPUs this instance will consume when running on a sole-tenant node.
--network-interface=[PROPERTY=VALUE,…]
Adds a network interface to the instance. This flag can be repeated to specify multiple network interfaces. The following keys are allowed: network, subnet, private-network-ip, internal-ipv6-address, internal-ipv6-prefix-length, address, external-ipv6-address, external-ipv6-prefix-length, public-ptr-domain, ipv6-public-ptr-domain, network-tier, aliases, stack-type, queue-count, nic-type, network-attachment
--network-performance-configs=[PROPERTY=VALUE,…]
Configures network performance settings for the restored instance. If this flag is not specified, the restored instance will be created with its source instance's network performance configuration.
total-egress-bandwidth-tier
Total egress bandwidth is the available outbound bandwidth from a VM, regardless of whether the traffic is going to internal IP or external IP destinations. The following tier values are allowed: [DEFAULT, TIER_1]
--[no-]preemptible
If provided, instances will be preemptible and time-limited. Instances might be preempted to free up resources for standard VM instances, and will only be able to run for a limited amount of time. Preemptible instances can not be restarted and will not migrate. Use --preemptible to enable and --no-preemptible to disable.
--private-ipv6-google-access-type=PRIVATE_IPV6_GOOGLE_ACCESS_TYPE

--provisioning-model=PROVISIONING_MODEL
Specifies provisioning model, which determines price, obtainability, and runtime for the restored VM instance. PROVISIONING_MODEL must be one of:
SPOT
Spot VMs are spare capacity; Spot VMs are discounted to have much lower prices than standard VMs but have no guaranteed runtime. Spot VMs are the new version of preemptible VM instances, except Spot VMs do not have a 24-hour maximum runtime.
STANDARD
Default. Standard provisioning model for VM instances, which has user-controlled runtime but no Spot discounts.
--resource-manager-tags=[KEY=VALUE,…]
Specifies a list of resource manager tags to apply to the instance.
--resource-policies=RESOURCE_POLICY,[…]
A list of resource policy names to be added to the instance. The policies must exist in the same region as the instance.
--[no-]restart-on-failure
The instances will be restarted if they are terminated by Compute Engine. This does not affect terminations performed by the user. Use --restart-on-failure to enable and --no-restart-on-failure to disable.
--service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT
A service account is an identity attached to the instance. Its access tokens can be accessed through the instance metadata server and are used to authenticate applications on the instance. The account can be set using an email address corresponding to the required service account. If not provided, the instance will use the project's default service account.
--tags=TAG,[TAG,…]
Specifies a list of tags to apply to the instance. These tags allow network firewall rules and routes to be applied to specified VM instances. See gcloud compute firewall-rules create(1) for more details.
--threads-per-core=THREADS_PER_CORE
The number of visible threads per physical core. To disable simultaneous multithreading (SMT) set this to 1. Valid values are: 1 or 2.

For more information about configuring SMT, see: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/configuring-simultaneous-multithreading.

--visible-core-count=VISIBLE_CORE_COUNT
The number of physical cores to expose to the instance's guest operating system. The number of virtual CPUs visible to the instance's guest operating system is this number of cores multiplied by the instance's count of visible threads per physical core.
Specifies the reservation for the instance.
--reservation=RESERVATION
The name of the reservation, required when --reservation-affinity=specific.
--reservation-affinity=RESERVATION_AFFINITY
Specifies the reservation affinity of the instance. RESERVATION_AFFINITY must be one of:
any
Consume any available, matching reservation.
none
Do not consume from any reserved capacity.
specific
Must consume from a specific reservation.
At most one of these can be specified:
--scopes=[SCOPE,…]
If not provided, the instance will be assigned the default scopes, described below. However, if neither --scopes nor --no-scopes are specified and the project has no default service account, then the instance will be created with no scopes. Note that the level of access that a service account has is determined by a combination of access scopes and IAM roles so you must configure both access scopes and IAM roles for the service account to work properly. SCOPE can be either the full URI of the scope or an alias. Default scopes are assigned to all instances. Available aliases are: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/instances/create#--scopes
--no-scopes
Create the instance with no scopes.

NOTES
This command is currently in alpha and might 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.
