gcloud alpha compute instances config export

gcloud alpha compute instances config export - export the configuration for a Compute Engine instance

gcloud alpha compute instances config export ([INSTANCE : --zone=ZONE] --all) [--path=PATH; default="-"] [--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

Instance configurations can be exported in Kubernetes Resource Model (krm) or Terraform HCL formats. The default format is krm.

Specifying --all allows you to export the configurations for all instances within the project.

Specifying --path allows you to export the configuration(s) to a local directory.

gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance

To export the configuration for an instance to a file, run:

gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance --path=/path/to/dir/

To export the configuration for an instance in Terraform HCL format, run:

gcloud alpha compute instances config export my-instance --resource-format=terraform

To export the configurations for all instances within a project, run:

gcloud alpha compute instances config export --all

Exactly one of these must be specified:

Instance resource - Instance to export the configuration for. The arguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set the project attribute:

• provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully specified name;
• provide the argument --project on the command line;
• set the property core/project.

INSTANCE

ID of the instance or fully qualified identifier for the instance.

To set the instance attribute:

• provide the argument instance on the command line.

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

--zone=ZONE

The name of the Google Compute Engine zone.

To set the zone attribute:

• provide the argument instance on the command line with a fully specified name;
• provide the argument --zone on the command line;
• set the property compute/zone.

--all

Retrieve all resources within the project. If --path is specified and is a valid directory, resources will be output as individual files based on resource name and scope. If --path is not specified, resources will be streamed to stdout.

--path=PATH; default="-"

Path of the directory or file to output configuration(s). To output configurations to stdout, specify "--path=-".

--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT

Format of the configuration to export. Available configuration formats are Kubernetes Resource Model YAML (krm) or Terraform HCL (terraform). Command defaults to "krm". RESOURCE_FORMAT must be one of: krm, terraform.
