(ALPHA) Alpha versions of gcloud commands.
--account=ACCOUNTcore/account property value for this command invocation.
--billing-project=BILLING_PROJECTgcloud. If you need to operate
on one project, but need quota against a different project, you can use this
flag to specify the billing project. If both billing/quota_project
and --billing-project are specified, --billing-project
takes precedence. Run $ gcloud
config set --help to see more information about
billing/quota_project.
--configuration=CONFIGURATIONgcloud topic
configurations. You can also use the CLOUDSDK_ACTIVE_CONFIG_NAME
environment variable to set the equivalent of this flag for a terminal session.
--flags-file=YAML_FILE--flag:value
dictionary. Useful for specifying complex flag values with special characters
that work with any command interpreter. Additionally, each
--flags-file arg is replaced by its constituent flags. See $ gcloud topic flags-file for
more information.
--flatten=[KEY,…]name[] output resource slices in
KEY into separate records for each item in each slice.
Multiple keys and slices may be specified. This also flattens keys for
--format and --filter. For example,
--flatten=abc.def flattens abc.def[].ghi references to
abc.def.ghi. A resource record containing abc.def[]
with N elements will expand to N records in the flattened output. This allows us
to specify what resource-key the filter will operate
on. This flag interacts with other flags that are applied in this order:
--flatten, --sort-by, --filter,
--limit.
--format=FORMATcore/format
and --format are specified, --format takes precedence.
--format and core/format both take precedence over
core/default_format. The supported formats are limited to:
config, csv, default, diff,
disable, flattened, get,
json, list, multi, none,
object, table, text, value,
yaml. For more details run $ gcloud topic formats. Run $ gcloud config set --help to
see more information about core/format
--help--project=PROJECT_IDgcloud
config list --format='text(core.project)' and can be set using
gcloud config set project PROJECTID.
--project and its fallback core/project property play
two roles in the invocation. It specifies the project of the resource to operate
on. It also specifies the project for API enablement check, quota, and billing.
To specify a different project for quota and billing, use
--billing-project or billing/quota_project property.
--quiet, -qgcloud commands. If input is required,
defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.
Overrides the default core/disable_prompts property value for this command
invocation. This is equivalent to setting the environment variable
CLOUDSDK_CORE_DISABLE_PROMPTS to 1.
--verbosity=VERBOSITY; default="warning"core/verbosity property value for this command invocation.
VERBOSITY must be one of: debug,
info, warning, error,
critical, none.
--version, -v-h--access-token-file=ACCESS_TOKEN_FILEgcloud with an access token. The
credentials of the active account (if exists) will be ignored. The file should
only contain an access token with no other information. Overrides the default
auth/access_token_file property value for this command invocation.
--impersonate-service-account=SERVICE_ACCOUNT_EMAILSgcloud invocation, all
API requests will be made as the given service account or target service account
in an impersonation delegation chain instead of the currently selected account.
You can specify either a single service account as the impersonator, or a
comma-separated list of service accounts to create an impersonation delegation
chain. The impersonation is done without needing to create, download, and
activate a key for the service account or accounts.
In order to make API requests as a service account, your currently selected
account must have an IAM role that includes the
iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission for the service
account or accounts.
The roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role has the
iam.serviceAccounts.getAccessToken permission. You can also create
a custom role.
You can specify a list of service accounts, separated with commas. This creates
an impersonation delegation chain in which each service account delegates its
permissions to the next service account in the chain. Each service account in
the list must have the roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on
the next service account in the list. For example, when
--impersonate-service-account=
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1roles/iam.serviceAccountTokenCreator role on
SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2SERVICE_ACCOUNT_1SERVICE_ACCOUNT_2
Overrides the default auth/impersonate_service_account property
value for this command invocation.
--log-httpcore/log_http property value for this command invocation.
--trace-token=TRACE_TOKENcore/trace_token property value for this
command invocation.
--user-output-enabledcore/user_output_enabled property value for this command
invocation. Use --no-user-output-enabled to disable.
