NAME

gcloud alpha compute images update - update a Compute Engine image

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute images update IMAGE_NAME [--architecture=ARCHITECTURE] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--family=FAMILY] [--update-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]] [--clear-labels | --remove-labels=[KEY,...]] [--clear-user-licenses | --update-user-licenses=[LICENSE,...]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute images update updates labels for a Compute Engine image.

EXAMPLES

To update labels k0 and k1 and remove labels with key k3, run:

$ gcloud alpha compute images update example-image \ --update-labels=k0=value1,k1=value2 --remove-labels=k3

k0 and k1 will be added as new labels if not already present.

Labels can be used to identify the image and to filter them like:

$ gcloud alpha compute images list --filter='labels.k1:value2'

To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format:

$ gcloud alpha compute images describe example-image \ --format="default(labels)"

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

IMAGE_NAME

Name of the disk image to update.

FLAGS

--architecture=ARCHITECTURE

Specifies the architecture or processor type that this image can support. For available processor types on Compute Engine, see https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/cpu-platforms. ARCHITECTURE must be one of: ARM64, X86_64.

--description=DESCRIPTION

An optional text description for the image.

--family=FAMILY

Name of the image family to use. If an image family is specified when you create an instance or disk, the latest non-deprecated image in the family is used.

--update-labels=[KEY=VALUE,...]

List of label KEY=VALUE pairs to update. If a label exists, its value is modified. Otherwise, a new label is created.

Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers. Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, and numbers.

At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-labels

Remove all labels. If --update-labels is also specified then --clear-labels is applied first.

For example, to remove all labels:

$ gcloud alpha compute images update --clear-labels

To remove all existing labels and create two new labels, foo and baz:

$ gcloud alpha compute images update --clear-labels \ --update-labels foo=bar,baz=qux

--remove-labels=[KEY,...]

List of label keys to remove. If a label does not exist it is silently ignored. If --update-labels is also specified then --update-labels is applied first.

At most one of these can be specified:
--clear-user-licenses

Remove all existing user licenses on an image.

--update-user-licenses=[LICENSE,...]

List of user licenses to be updated on an image. These user licenses replace all existing user licenses. If this flag is not provided, all existing user licenses remain unchanged.

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. These variants are also available:

$ gcloud compute images update

$ gcloud beta compute images update
