gcloud alpha compute instance-templates export

NAME

gcloud alpha compute instance-templates export - export an instance template

SYNOPSIS

gcloud alpha compute instance-templates export NAME [--destination=DESTINATION] [--endpoint-mode=ENDPOINT_MODE] [--global     | --region=REGION] [GCLOUD_WIDE_FLAG …]

DESCRIPTION

(ALPHA) Exports the configuration for the instance template to a file. This configuration can be imported at a later time.

EXAMPLES

An instance template can be exported by running:

gcloud alpha compute instance-templates export NAME --destination=<path-to-file>

POSITIONAL ARGUMENTS

NAME

Name of the instance template to export.

FLAGS

--destination=DESTINATION

Path to a YAML file where the configuration will be exported. Alternatively, you may omit this flag to write to standard output. For a schema describing the export/import format, see: $CLOUDSDKROOT/lib/googlecloudsdk/schemas/compute/alpha/InstanceTemplate.yaml.

--endpoint-mode=ENDPOINT_MODE

Specifies endpoint mode for a given command. Regional endpoints provide enhanced data residency and reliability by ensuring your request is handled entirely within the specified Google Cloud region. This differs from global endpoints, which may process parts of the request outside the target region. Overrides the default regional/endpoint_mode property value for this command invocation. ENDPOINT_MODE must be one of:

global

(Default) Use global rather than regional endpoints.

regional

Only use regional endpoints. An error will be raised if a regional endpoint is not available for a given command.

regional-preferred

Use regional endpoints when available, otherwise use global endpoints. Recommended for most users.

At most one of these can be specified:

--global

If set, the instance template is global.

--region=REGION

Region of the instance template to export. Overrides the default compute/region property value for this command invocation.

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.

REGIONAL ENDPOINTS

This command supports regional endpoints. To use regional endpoints for this command, use the --endpoint-mode=regional-preferred flag. To use regional endpoints by default, run $ gcloud config set regional/endpoint_mode regional-preferred.

NOTES

This command is currently in alpha and might change without notice. If this command fails with API permission errors despite specifying the correct project, you might be trying to access an API with an invitation-only early access allowlist. These variants are also available:
