NAME
gcloud compute instances add-tags - add tags to Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances
SYNOPSIS
gcloud compute instances add-tags   NAME   [--format   FORMAT]   [--help]   [--project   PROJECT_ID]   [--quiet,   -q]   [--tags   TAG   [TAG   …]]   [--zone   ZONE]   [-h]
DESCRIPTION
gcloud compute instances add-tags is used to add tags to Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances. For example, running:
$ gcloud compute instances add-tags example-instance --tags tag-1 tag-2
will add tags tag-1 and tag-2 to example-instance.
Tags can be used to identify the instances when adding network firewall rules. Tags can also be used to get firewall rules that already exist to be applied to the instance. See gcloud compute firewall-rules create(1) for more details.
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
NAME
The name of the instance whose tags should be modified.
FLAGS
--tags TAG [TAG …]
Specifies strings to be attached to the instance for later identifying the instance when adding network firewall rules. Multiple tags can be attached by repeating this flag.
--zone ZONE
The zone of the instance to set tags on. If not specified, you will be prompted to select a zone.
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 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.
GLOBAL FLAGS
--format FORMAT
Specify a format for printed output. By default, a command-specific human-friendly output format is used. Setting this flag to one of the available options will serialize the result of the command in the chosen format and print it to stdout. Supported formats are: json, text, yaml.
--help
Display detailed help.
--project PROJECT_ID
The Google Cloud Platform project name to use for this invocation. If omitted then the current project is assumed.
--quiet, -q
Disable all interactive prompts when running gcloud commands. If input is required, defaults will be used, or an error will be raised.
-h
Print a summary help and exit.
