gcloud alpha compute machine-types describe - describe a Compute Engine machine type
gcloud alpha compute machine-types describe NAME [--zone=ZONE] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG ...]
(ALPHA) gcloud alpha compute machine-types describe displays all data associated with a Compute Engine machine type.
To describe a machine type 'MACHINE-TYPE' in zone 'us-central1-f', run:
$ gcloud alpha compute machine-types describe MACHINE-TYPE \ --zone=us-central1-f
- NAME
Name of the machine type to describe.
- --zone=ZONE
Zone of the machine type to describe. 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.
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.
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 machine-types describe
$ gcloud beta compute machine-types describe
