DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha compute instances set-scopes letsyou configure service account and scopes for a Compute Engine VM instance.

Note: This command might be deprecated in a future release. Usegcloudcompute instances set-service-account instead.

EXAMPLES
To set a service account with thecloud-platform scope, run:
gcloudalphacomputeinstancesset-scopesexample-instance--scopes=cloud-platform--zone=us-central1-b--service-account=example-account
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
INSTANCE_NAME
Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, referto the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances
FLAGS
--zone=ZONE
Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a zone (interactive mode only).gcloud attempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloud prompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.

At most one of these can be specified:
--scopes=[SCOPE,…]
If not provided, the instance will keep the scopes it currently has.

SCOPE can be either the full URI of the scope or an alias.Defaultscopes are assigned to all instances. Available aliases are:
