NAME
gcloud alpha compute images packages diff - displays the version differences of packages between two images
SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha compute images packages diff (--base-image=BASE_IMAGE : --base-project=BASE_PROJECT) (--diff-image=DIFF_IMAGE : --diff-project=DIFF_PROJECT) [--show-added-packages] [--show-removed-packages] [--show-updated-packages] [--filter=EXPRESSION] [--limit=LIMIT] [--page-size=PAGE_SIZE] [--sort-by=[FIELD,…]] [--uri] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Displays the version differences of packages between two images.
REQUIRED FLAGS
Image resource - Name of the disk image as the diff base. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.

This must be specified.

--base-image=BASE_IMAGE
ID of the image or fully qualified identifier for the image.

To set the name attribute:

  • provide the argument --base-image on the command line.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--base-project=BASE_PROJECT
Project ID of the Google Cloud project for the image.

To set the project attribute:

  • provide the argument --base-image on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --base-project on the command line;
  • provide the argument --project on the command line;
  • set the property core/project.
Image resource - Name of the disk image to diff with base image. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.

This must be specified.

--diff-image=DIFF_IMAGE
ID of the image or fully qualified identifier for the image.

To set the name attribute:

  • provide the argument --diff-image on the command line.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this group are specified.

--diff-project=DIFF_PROJECT
Project ID of the Google Cloud project for the image.

To set the project attribute:

  • provide the argument --diff-image on the command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument --diff-project on the command line;
  • provide the argument --project on the command line;
  • set the property core/project.
FLAGS
--show-added-packages
Show only the packages added to the diff image.
--show-removed-packages
Show only the packages removed from the base image.
--show-updated-packages
Show only the packages updated between two images.
LIST COMMAND FLAGS
--filter=EXPRESSION
Apply a Boolean filter EXPRESSION to each resource item to be listed. If the expression evaluates True, then that item is listed. For more details and examples of filter expressions, run $ gcloud topic filters. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.
--limit=LIMIT
Maximum number of resources to list. The default is unlimited. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.
--page-size=PAGE_SIZE
Some services group resource list output into pages. This flag specifies the maximum number of resources per page. The default is determined by the service if it supports paging, otherwise it is unlimited (no paging). Paging may be applied before or after --filter and --limit depending on the service.
--sort-by=[FIELD,…]
Comma-separated list of resource field key names to sort by. The default order is ascending. Prefix a field with ``~´´ for descending order on that field. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order: --flatten, --sort-by, --filter, --limit.
--uri
Print a list of resource URIs instead of the default output, and change the command output to a list of URIs. If this flag is used with --format, the formatting is applied on this URI list. To display URIs alongside other keys instead, use the uri() transform.
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.

Run $ gcloud help for details.

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.
