gcloud compute images update

NAME
gcloud compute images update - update a Compute Engine image
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute images update IMAGE_NAME [--architecture=ARCHITECTURE] [--description=DESCRIPTION] [--family=FAMILY] [--update-labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]] [--clear-labels     | --remove-labels=[KEY,…]] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud 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 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 compute images list --filter='labels.k1:value2'

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

gcloud 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 compute images update --clear-labels

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

gcloud 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.
GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
