SYNOPSIS
gcloud alpha kms keys versions import--algorithm=ALGORITHM--import-job=IMPORT_JOB[--key=KEY][--keyring=KEYRING][--location=LOCATION][--public-key-file=PUBLIC_KEY_FILE][--target-key-file=TARGET_KEY_FILE][--version=VERSION][--wrapped-key-file=WRAPPED_KEY_FILE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]
DESCRIPTION
(ALPHA) Imports wrapped key material into a new version within anexisting crypto key following the import procedure documented athttps://cloud.google.com/kms/docs/importing-a-key.
EXAMPLES
The following command will read the files 'path/to/ephemeral/key' and'path/to/target/key' and use them to create a new version with algorithm'google-symmetric-encryption' within the 'frodo' crypto key, 'fellowship'keyring, and 'us-central1' location using import job 'strider' to unwrap theprovided key material.

--import-job=IMPORT_JOB
Name of the import job to import from.
OPTIONAL FLAGS
--key=KEY
The containing key to import into.
--keyring=KEYRING
Key ring of the key.
--location=LOCATION
Location of the keyring.
--public-key-file=PUBLIC_KEY_FILE
Path to the public key of the ImportJob, used to wrap the key for import. Ifmissing, the public key will be fetched on your behalf.
--target-key-file=TARGET_KEY_FILE
Path to the unwrapped target key to import into a Cloud KMS key version. Ifspecified, the key will be securely wrapped before transmission to Google.
--version=VERSION
Version to re-import into. Omit this field for first-time import.
--wrapped-key-file=WRAPPED_KEY_FILE
Path to the RSA/RSA+AES wrapped key file to import.
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.
