KEY
Keys must start with a lowercase character and contain only hyphens(-), underscores (_), lowercase characters, andnumbers.
VALUE
Values must contain only hyphens (-), underscores (_),lowercase characters, and numbers.
Shorthand Example:
--labels=string=string

JSON Example:

--labels='{"string": "string"}'

File Example:

--labels=path_to_file.(yaml|json)
--location=LOCATION
For resources [backup-odb-subnet, exadb_vm_cluster, odb-network, odb-subnet,properties-exascale-db-storage-vault], provides fallback value for resourcelocation attribute. When the resource's full URI path is not provided, locationwill fallback to this flag value.
--odb-network=ODB_NETWORK
For resources [backup-odb-subnet, odb-network, odb-subnet], provides fallbackvalue for resource odb-network attribute. When the resource's full URI path isnot provided, odb-network will fallback to this flag value.
--request-id=REQUEST_ID
An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so thatif you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if ithas already been completed. The server will guarantee that for at least 60minutes since the first request.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and therequest times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, theserver can check if original operation with the same request ID was received,and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients fromaccidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is notsupported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).

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 help for details.
