gcloud beta compute instances add-labels - add labels to Google Compute Engine virtual machine instances

gcloud beta compute instances add-labelsINSTANCE_NAME--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…][--zone=ZONE][GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

gcloudbetacomputeinstancesadd-labelsexample-instance--labels=k0=v0,k1=v1

Labels can be used to identify the instance and to filter them. To find ainstance labeled with key-value pairk1,v2

gcloudbetacomputeinstanceslist--filter='labels.k1:v2'

To list only the labels when describing a resource, use --format

gcloudbetacomputeinstancesdescribeexample-instance--format='default(labels)'

INSTANCE_NAME

Name of the instance to operate on. For details on valid instance names, referto the criteria documented under the field 'name' at:https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/reference/rest/v1/instances

--labels=[KEY=VALUE,…]

A list of labels to add.

--zone=ZONE

Zone of the instance to operate on. If not specified, you might be prompted toselect a zone (interactive mode only).gcloud attempts to identify theappropriate zone by searching for resources in your currently active project. Ifthe zone cannot be determined,gcloud prompts you for a selection withall available Google Cloud Platform zones.

To avoid prompting when this flag is omitted, the user can set thecompute/zone property:

gcloudconfigsetcompute/zoneZONE

A list of zones can be fetched by running:

gcloudcomputezoneslist

To unset the property, run:

gcloudconfigunsetcompute/zone

Alternatively, the zone can be stored in the environment variableCLOUDSDK_COMPUTE_ZONE.
