gcloud app instances ssh - SSH into the VM of an App Engine Flexible instance

gcloud app instances sshINSTANCE[--container=CONTAINER][--service=SERVICE][--tunnel-through-iap][--version=VERSION][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …][--COMMAND …]

• The instance is running.
• The instance has an external IP address. To check from the Cloud Console, go tothe Instances page and confirm that there is an IP address listed in the VM IPcolumn. To check from your app.yaml, open your app.yaml and look at the networksettings. Theinstance_ip_mode field must be either not listed orset toexternal.

gcloud app instances ssh resolves the instance's IP address andpre-populates the VM with a public key managed by gcloud. If the gcloud managedkey pair does not exist, it is generated the first time an SSH command is run,which may prompt you for a passphrase for the private key encryption.

All SSH commands require the OpenSSH client suite to be installed on Linux andMac OS X. On Windows, the Google Cloud CLI comes with a bundled PuTTY suiteinstead, so it has no external dependencies.
