DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha container node-pools configexport exports the configuration for a Container node pool.

Node pool configurations can be exported in Kubernetes Resource Model (krm) orTerraform HCL formats. The default format iskrm.

Specifying--all allows you to export the configurations for allnode pools within the project.

Specifying--path allows you to export the configuration(s) to alocal directory.

EXAMPLES
To export the configuration for a node pool, run:
gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexportmy-node-pool

To export the configuration for a node pool to a file, run:

gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexportmy-node-pool--path=/path/to/dir/

To export the configuration for a node pool in Terraform HCL format, run:

gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexportmy-node-pool--resource-format=terraform

To export the configurations for all node pools within a project, run:

gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexport--all
POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

To set theproject attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--project on the command line;
  • set the propertycore/project.

To set thelocation attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--location on the command line.
NODE_POOL
ID of the node pool or fully qualified identifier for the node pool.

To set thenode_pool attribute:

  • provide the argumentnode_pool on the command line.

    FLAGS
    --path=PATH; default="-"
    Path of the directory or file to output configuration(s). To outputconfigurations to stdout, specify "--path=-".
    --resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT
    Format of the configuration to export. Available configuration formats areKubernetes Resource Model YAML (krm) or Terraform HCL (terraform). Commanddefaults to "krm".RESOURCE_FORMAT must be one of:krm,terraform.
    At most one of these can be specified:
    --location=LOCATION
    Compute zone or region (e.g. us-central1-a or us-central1) for the cluster.Overrides the default compute/region or compute/zone value for this commandinvocation. Prefer using this flag over the --region or --zone flags.
    --region=REGION
    Compute region (e.g. us-central1) for a regional cluster. Overrides the defaultcompute/region property value for this command invocation.
    --zone=ZONE,-zZONE
    Compute zone (e.g. us-central1-a) for a zonal cluster. Overrides the defaultcompute/zone property value for this command invocation.
    GCLOUD WIDE FLAGS
    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.
