DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Generates Terraform files for an application in a space.
EXAMPLES
To generate IaC for the applicationmy-application in spacemy-space, projectmy-project and locationus-central1, run:
gcloudalphadesign-centerspacesapplicationsgeneratemy-application--space=my-space--project=my-project--location=us-central1

Or run:

gcloudalphadesign-centerspacesapplicationsgenerateprojects/my-project/locations/us-central1/spaces/my-space/applications/my-application

To generate IaC for the applicationmy-application in spacemy-space, projectmy-project and locationus-central1 and save to Cloud Storage bucketmy-bucket, run:

gcloudalphadesign-centerspacesapplicationsgeneratemy-application--space=my-space--project=my-project--location=us-central1--gcs-uri=gs://my-bucket

To generate IaC for the applicationmy-application in Terraformformat in spacemy-space, projectmy-project andlocationus-central1, run:

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS
Application resource - The name of the application. The arguments in this groupcan be used to specify the attributes of this resource. (NOTE) Some attributesare not given arguments in this group but can be set in other ways.

To set theproject attribute:

  • provide the argumentapplication 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 argumentapplication on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--location on the command line.

This must be specified.

APPLICATION
ID of the application or fully qualified identifier for the application.

To set theapplication attribute:

  • provide the argumentapplication on the command line.

This positional argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in thisgroup are specified.

--space=SPACE
The space id of the application resource.

To set thespace attribute:

  • provide the argumentapplication on the command line with a fullyspecified name;
  • provide the argument--space on the command line.
FLAGS
--gcs-uri=GCS_URI
The Cloud Storage URI to write the generated IaC to.

DEPRECATED: Use the 'artifact_location' field instead.

--iac-format=IAC_FORMAT
The IaC format to generate.IAC_FORMAT must be one of:
helm
IaC format is HELM.
terraform
IaC format is Terraform.
--location=LOCATION
For resources [application, developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri], providesfallback value for resource location attribute. When the resource's full URIpath is not provided, location will fallback to this flag value.
Arguments for the location.

At most one of these can be specified:

--artifact-location-gcs-uri=ARTIFACT_LOCATION_GCS_URI
The Cloud Storage URI for storing the generated IaC.
Through Developer Connect, defines a location where content such asInfrastructure as Code (IaC) is stored.
--developer-connect-export-config-dir=DEVELOPER_CONNECT_EXPORT_CONFIG_DIR
Directory, relative to the source repo, where content such as Infrastructure asCode (IaC) will be stored. This must be a relative path.To specify the rootdirectory, use '/'. If the path or any subdirectories do not exist, they will becreated.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--developer-connect-export-config-branch=DEVELOPER_CONNECT_EXPORT_CONFIG_BRANCH
The branch in repo to which the content such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC)should be written to. If empty, ADC will create a branch and push the changes.
GitRepositoryLink resource - The Developer Connect Git repository link,formatted asprojects/*/locations/*/connections/*/gitRepositoryLinks/*. Thearguments in this group can be used to specify the attributes of this resource.(NOTE) Some attributes are not given arguments in this group but can be set inother ways.

To set theproject attribute:

  • provide the argument--developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri onthe command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument--project on the command line;
  • set the propertycore/project.

To set thelocation attribute:

  • provide the argument--developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri onthe command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument--location on the command line.

This must be specified.

--developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri=DEVELOPER_CONNECT_EXPORT_CONFIG_REPO_URI
ID of the gitRepositoryLink or fully qualified identifier for thegitRepositoryLink.

To set thegit-repository-link attribute:

  • provide the argument--developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri onthe command line.

This flag argument must be specified if any of the other arguments in this groupare specified.

--connection=CONNECTION
The connection id of the gitRepositoryLink resource.

To set theconnection attribute:

  • provide the argument--developer-connect-export-config-repo-uri onthe command line with a fully specified name;
  • provide the argument--connection on the command line.
