gcloud alpha compute instant-snapshot-groups create INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME --source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP [--region=REGION     | --zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

INSTANT_SNAPSHOT_GROUP_NAME

Name of the instant snapshot group to create.

--source-consistency-group=SOURCE_CONSISTENCY_GROUP

URL of the source consistency group resource policy. The resource policy is always in the same region as the source disks.

At most one of these can be specified:

--region=REGION

Region of the instant snapshot group to create. If not specified, you might be prompted to select a region (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/region property:

gcloud config set compute/region REGION

A list of regions can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute regions list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/region

Alternatively, the region can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_REGION.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instant snapshot group to create. If not specified and the compute/zone property isn't set, you might be prompted to select a zone (interactive mode only).

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, you can set the compute/zone property:

gcloud config set compute/zone ZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloud compute zones list

To unset the property, run:

gcloud config unset compute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variable CLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

Run $ gcloud help for details.
