- gcloud alpha container node-pools config export - export the configuration for a Container node pool
- SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha container node-pools config export([NODE_POOL:--cluster=CLUSTER]--all)[--path=PATH; default="-"][--resource-format=RESOURCE_FORMAT][--location=LOCATION|--region=REGION|--zone=ZONE,-zZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
- DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA)gcloud alpha container node-pools configexportexports the configuration for a Container node pool.Node pool configurations can be exported in Kubernetes Resource Model (krm) orTerraform HCL formats. The default format is
krm.Specifying
--allallows you to export the configurations for allnode pools within the project.Specifying
--pathallows you to export the configuration(s) to alocal directory.- EXAMPLES
- To export the configuration for a node pool, run:
gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexportmy-node-poolTo 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=terraformTo export the configurations for all node pools within a project, run:
gcloudalphacontainernode-poolsconfigexport--all - POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- Node pool resource - Node pool to export the configuration for. The arguments inthis group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Someattributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
To set the
projectattribute:- provide the argument
node_poolon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--projecton the command line; - set the property
core/project.
To set the
locationattribute:- provide the argument
node_poolon the command line with a fullyspecified name; - provide the argument
--locationon the command line.
NODE_POOL- ID of the node pool or fully qualified identifier for the node pool.
To set the
node_poolattribute:- provide the argument
node_poolon the command line. - provide the argument
This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.
--cluster=CLUSTER- The name of the cluster
To set the
clusterattribute:- provide the argument
node_poolon the command line with a fullyspecified name;- provide the argument
--clusteron the command line. - provide the argument
- provide the argument
--all- Retrieve all resources within the project. If
--pathis specifiedand is a valid directory, resources will be output as individual files based onresource name and scope. If--pathis not specified, resources willbe streamed to stdout.
- Node pool resource - Node pool to export the configuration for. The arguments inthis group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Someattributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.
- Exactly one of these must be specified:
- 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_FORMATmust 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.Run
$gcloud helpfor details. - NOTES
- This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If thiscommand fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project,you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early accessallowlist.
